This is a great casserole dish if you’re looking for Cinco de Mayo recipes!
What I also love about a good tortilla pie recipe is you can make it your own. Make it in whatever size pan you choose (a pie plate works, too!) Add in rice and beans (for vegetarian), or leave out the olives, add a ton of fresh cilantro, salsa between the layers. Go for it! :)
Taco Pie is yummy and goes well served with Chunky Guacamole, Mexican Rice Salad, and these little cookie bites for dessert: Raspberry Lemon Cream Galettes.

How do you make frito taco pie?
Pedro’s Special Mexican Casserole is the recipe I grew up with. It’s a super easy meal, baked with corn chips (Frito chips) on top, and served with your favorite toppings! You can watch the video!
My friend Holly makes a killer Layered Doritos Casserole!
Both our boys went to college close enough to buzz home for the weekend if they needed to, always loading up on groceries and some good eats! This was one of favorite go-to recipes, quick and easy, when they returned home!
Tortilla Chicken Pie
Simple meals, like this Tortilla Chicken Pie, is how I’ve shown our sons how to cook. Keep your pantry stocked with base items like salsa, olives, chopped green chiles.
And then rotisserie chickens come in handy. You can even freeze the meat and cheese, and hope that you have sour cream stocked in their fridge.
Oh, and this is even better if you can use dark meat (a bit richer), like chicken thigh meat. Or, you could even use ground beef or ground turkey!
Very simple ingredients, and the topping is always the best part, right?
Sour cream, fresh tomatoes and cilantro, and possibly a few drops of tabasco.
Layer, stack, and serve!
ENJOY!

Can this be done with flour tortillas? Thank you so much.
I’ve never tried it, but I would think it would be delicious (just a different texture!)
Can this be assembled the night before and refrigerated until time to cook?
Yes!!
I make something very similar to this however I bake it in a spring form pan and slice it up like pie. Yours looks delish!
Yum! Sounds wonderful!!! The climate change will certainly be an adjustment won’t it?
Welcome to Bend!
I absolutely LOVE Bend! We used to go on trips to Sunriver every single summer and some of my best childhood memories are made in that area. One day, I hope to move there ourselves. Good luck with the move! And this looks like a great meal!
