Taco Tortilla Pie
Taco tortilla pie is one of my favorite ways to transform leftover taco meat and tortillas into something new. Mix up your typical breakfast with this taco tortilla pie!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1 cup cooked ground beef (if using leftover taco meat then omit the next 6 ingredients)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic granules
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp pepper, divided
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk (any plain variety)
- 6 tortillas , cut into 1/4ths
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a pie dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the avocado oil. Add the bell pepper and onion, and saute for 7-10 minutes until soft. Add the cooked ground beef (or taco meat without the extra spices), cumin, oregano, garlic granules, chili powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and tomato paste. Stir and warm. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with milk, 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- To assemble: Add 2 tbsp egg mixture to bottom of dish. Layer 1/3 of the tortillas, 1/2 of the meat/vegetable mixture and 1/3 of the egg mixture. Again, layer another 1/3 of the tortillas, the remaining meat/vegetable mixture and 1/3 of the egg mixture. To finish, layer the remaining 1/3 of the tortillas and the rest of the egg mixture, making sure all the tortillas are covered with the egg mixture.
- Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes until a knife comes out clean and the eggs are set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before eating.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings (sour cream, guacamole, pic de gallo, tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro etc.)!
