It’s not Taco Tuesday, but any day can be a taco day in our house. That’s how much we love them!
I prefer soft shells to hard shells. I prefer black beans to refried beans. And I prefer saucy salsa to chunky salsa. I’m not hard to please.
Where I live, there are tons of Mexican restaurants. We really enjoy eating chips, salsa and white queso dip! Really, that stuff is so sinfully good.
I hope you are hungry or hangry (so hungry you are angry), because this taco pie just might set your taste buds on fire!
Arriba! Arriba!

Do you want a slice of this pie? It’s not dessert pie, but if you love Mexican food, this might as well be dessert pie!
Layered taco pie with cheese oozing out of it! ALOT TO LOVE!
Yep, that’s a huge dollop of sour cream! But really, the fat free stuff doesn’t taste very good.
Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. My husband had an idea, he’d top his with this fiery sauce to give it that extra spicy zing!
Look at those lovely layers!
We had 3 slices of this taco pie left and I packed up some for my lunch at work the next day! Score!

What’s your preference? Hard or soft shell? Refried or black beans?
Do you have a weekly meal night like Taco Tuesday?
I love anything mexican…taco pie!?!? looks amazing!
Thank you Ashley!
That thing looks more than terrific-it looks incredible!!!!
My boyfriend is actually part Mexican, so I’m always trying mexican recipes to impress him. I’m going to have to try this when I see him again, it looks soooooo good.
Oh great Hollie, good luck! I am sure you will impress him!
I cannot begin to tell you how essential it is that I now make a taco pie. Heck I would even eat this for breakfast. Delish girl!
Thanks Marla! I hope you get to make a taco pie REALLY soon!
This looks great and super easy! Could be made vegetarian with some jazzed up black beans!
Sure could Debbie, enjoy!
I grew up in a hard shell household and hates it. I always knew soft shells and I were meant to live in Mexican food happiness together! I love the local Mexican plces around here b/c I fill up on the chips and salsa, have a few bites of my meal then it’s usually enough for one to two meals afterwards! Only special occasions for the queso dip though—I could stick a straw in the bowl and just suck it down b/c it’s so good!
I know, I love that white queso dip. I put a little cheese and then a little salsa on my chip and chow down, so good!!!
jealous that yours stayed together so nicely…such precision cutting is impressive 😉 it looks great!
whoa! sorry about that last comment. you can delete it if you want. i don’t know why my name showed up as jibberish.
anyways, like i was saying….very impressive construction. another mexican dish to add to the “make for hubby” list!
No problem Lindsay, that was weird. Love how you said “construction!” It is true, cooking and baking is a great form of construction! And then there’s demolition ie., eating!
MMM! This reminds me of my mexican lasagna! Your husband is a lucky guy!
Yea, it is kinda like a layered Mexican lasagna dish, but round, so I can call it pie!
I go for soft shell with black beans. 🙂 I’ve never even heard of a Taco pie before! This is so cool!!!
So Kat, are you now going to try making a taco pie?
I prefer soft shells and black beans too. But I’m more of a chunky salsa girl. I don’t have a weekly meal night, but it sounds like a fun idea. I’ve been subbing sour cream with Greek yogurt recently and I can’t even tell the diff!
Really? I’ve bought fat free sour cream and it tastes bad, so maybe I should try Greek yogurt next!
Soft and black beans for me as well!
I could eat Mexican food every single day of my life and not get sick of it. It brings me extreme amounts of joy!
Love crunchy chips, but not crunchy shells, hmm!
Omg that looks so amazing! I must log off bc it’s making me hungry!
Oh Jenny, you make me laugh, thank you!
YUMM! As far as I’m concerned–every day should be Taco Tuesday!! 😉
And black beans for the protein. 🙂 Or chickpeas are great as well!
Yea, never thought of putting chickpeas in my mexican meal, but I so would….after I made some snickerdoodle hummus out of them!
Yum – I love mexican food!! This looks so good – We havent had tacos in a while at my house so next Tuesday…this is it!
Hooray for Taco Tuesday!
We prefer all the same things, so I definitely know I would love this 🙂
It was easy to make and fit in my round dish perfectly!
I also prefer soft shells and saucy salsa! I think I like black beans and refried beans about equally, though. And white queso dip… um… delicious! Your taco pie looks great, girl! Thanks for sharing this recipe 🙂
You are welcome, we love the same things!
Those look absolutely delicious!! They are making me hungry. Taking note of that recipe 😉 Thanks for entering the giveaway at my blog. I am so glad I finally found yours… don’t know what took me so long!
Oh thanks Tracy!
Give me chips, salsa, and a burrito and I will be HAPPY!!
This looks amazing Amy! I will have to make this for my boys!
I am now craving a margarita ; ) lol!
Ole Senorita!!!
SUCH a good recipe idea<3 I LOVE IT
Thanks!
Mmmmhm, I want to make something like this using those Morningstar Meatless Crumbles…delish! I’m so excited that you printed my recipe for overnight oats; let me know how they go and hopefully you’ll absolutely Love them like I do! omg this blogging thang is so addicting:)
The overnight oats were so good! I ate the whole bowl when I got up first thing this morning. Now I’ve got power to go to the gym!
This looks totally delicious and amazing! I haven’t had taco pie in AGES…I think I’ve found dinner inspiration for next week. 🙂
When it comes to tacos, I like ALL types…soft shell for fish, hard for ground beef, soft AND hard for chicken! And no matter what the shell, always topped with cheese, sour cream and guacamole!
I definitely have to try this recipe! The hubby would eat tacos/fajitas every night for dinner if I let him. Will sub out the whole wheat tortilla for corn ones (gluten free happiness for me). I’m sure it will be just as tasty looking!
Thanks for visiting my blog BTW!
Great Alicia! Let me know if you like it!
holy yum! that taco pie looks amazing!
