Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to brown the beef and sausage. This will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding and steaming, which can result in tough, bland meat.
  • Season the meat generously with chili powder, cumin, and salt. This will help to give the meat a flavorful and authentic Mexican taste.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling. This will help to create a rich and complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be hot and bubbly, but the crust should not be overbrowned.
  • Serve the pie with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Acapulco Taco Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party.
