Tex-Mex Fiesta Pie With Black Beans, Sour Cream, and Green Onion

Contains: Milk, Wheat

This is a fun take on the Tex-Mex classic that some might call Mexican lasagna. Classic taco ingredients, perfectly seasoned beef, black beans, corn, and melty Mexican cheeses are layered between tortillas and baked casserole-style. A great way to enjoy the mild spice of tacos, while getting a full serving of vegetables.

Recipe Steps

1

Start Chopping

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Dice the onion and bell pepper. You will need ½ cup of each. Remove the black beans and corn from the can, place in a colander, and rinse in cool water.
2

Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the beef, taco seasoning, salsa, onion, and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, break the beef up into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until the beef has browned, about 5 minutes.
3

Assemble the Pie

Place a corn tortilla in the bottom of a lightly greased pie dish or cake pan. Spread out ⅓ of the beef over the top. Layer half of the beans and ⅓ cup of cheese on top. Add another tortilla, and layer another ⅓ of the beef and corn on top. Then add the last tortilla. Finally, add the rest of the beef, beans, and cheese.
4

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 350F degrees.
5

Plate the Dish

Cut the pie into slices and top with a dollop of lowfat sour cream and diced green onion. Enjoy!
