In my book, tacos are pretty close to the perfect food. I love the combination of fresh, zesty, savory and spicy, all delivered on the greatest-ever vehicle for food consumption\u2014the tortilla. The problem is, my family tends to balk at eating the same thing week after week. Enter tortilla pie: a cheesy Tex-Mex take on lasagna that delivers all the goodness of tacos but adds layers of creamy, melty cheese, resulting in a tower of flavor.<\/p>\n
And just like with tacos, you can customize this tortilla pie recipe to create the perfect flavor combination for your household. So go ahead and get creative. This recipe for Southwestern comfort food can handle it.<\/p>\n
In a large skillet, cook and crumble the beef with the onion and garlic over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink, four to six minutes. Stir in the spices and canned tomatoes. Let the mixture come to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of the chopped cilantro until they’re thoroughly incorporated.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Place a single tortilla in a 9-inch round cake pan coated with cooking spray. Layer it with half the meat sauce, then another tortilla, then the ricotta mixture, spreading the cheese evenly. Repeat with another tortilla and the remaining meat sauce. Top the pie with the remaining tortilla, then sprinkle on the shredded cheddar cheese and remaining cilantro.<\/p>\n Bake the tortilla pie, covered with aluminum foil, until it’s heated through and the cheese is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven, and cut it into quarters for serving.<\/p>\n Place any leftovers into a covered, airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat the tortilla pie casserole, simply pop it into the microwave for about a minute, until it’s heated through.<\/p>\n You can. Wrap each piece of leftover tortilla pie with plastic wrap, and place it into a freezer bag, removing any excess air. The pie can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it in the microwave.<\/p>\n Absolutely. You’ll just have to substitute the whole wheat tortillas with corn or a gluten-free flour alternative.<\/p>\n Leftover rotisserie chicken is a great option for this layered tortilla pie. Just sub in the chicken, then follow the recipe as directed.<\/p>\n Salsa verde is a fantastic way to give this tortilla pie a different flavor profile. You can use your favorite store-bought variety or make your own zesty salsa verde<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My husband and I enjoy this southwestern take on lasagna because it\u2019s not as dense or heavy as traditional layered dishes made with pasta.
