Every now & then I like to spoil my kids with an over the top, cheesy and indulgent meal and Mexican is always a hot in our household. This Taco Pie is stacked taco goodness that you can slice and serve. The concept very similar to a lasagna, is layers of flavor and texture using easy to find store bought ingredients.

I’ve used whole Wheat Tortillas in this recipe but you can easily use Corn Tortillas to make this gluten free. You don’t have to use a cake pan, but I find that it really helps to ensure that the cheese does not melt right out. In this recipe I stacked three layers, but you can easily make a higher pie by just adding more layers.

You can also switch up the protein, I’ve used Chicken, but you can use Turkey, Beef or just make it Vegetarian. I like to serve this with a fresh Pico de Gallo.
