Spoon into the prepared pie plate too smoothen to encompass the entire bottom of the pie plate.

*I truly but used leftover, cooked too seasoned taco meat vs making it fresh. Either works!

My thoughts:

Last twelvemonth I was into making international-fusion taco recipes for or thus reason. I made Takoraisu (Okinawan Taco Rice) and Tacopaj (Swedish taco pie), both of which combine American manner solid soil beef tacos alongside their ain traditional cuisine. Somehow, I never made the really American version of this, Impossible Taco Pie, a pop '70s era Betty Crocker recipe using Bisquick. Basically. it's "impossible" because you lot creates the crust past times but pouring it over the meat too it "magically" forms a cohesive, sliceable pie.


It's a piffling giddy but it's fun. I don't plough over off Bisquick on mitt thus I made my ain batter too jazzed the filling upwardly alongside or thus spicy tomatoes too or thus quesadilla too cotija cheese instead of the cheddar commonly used inwards the pie. The effect is an interesting mashup of tacos too almost quiche if quiche wasn't quite thus eggy. It's slow to make, really flavorful too a smashing alter for a weekday dinner.
