MEXICAN BURRITO PIE
This recipe is adapted from La Dolce Vegan cookbook. I really loved this because it was quick, simple, and layered all in ONE dish. I served it with some cumin scented rice and some salsa on the side. The original recipe called for 1 avocado, but I had 2 VERY ripe ones on hand and did not want to waste them. Feel free to use lemon OR lime juice. Pinto beans will also work well here too. I listed the vegan cheese as "optional". I am sometimes "iffy" with vegan cheese (taste, meltability etc.), but every now and again it's ok. I do like "Follow Your Heart" brand Monteray Jack and Mozzarella (available here in supermarkets) Keep in mind these need to be heated to at leat 450 degrees to melt, so for the recipe below, I turned up my oven for the last 10-15 minutes of cook time. This recipe also is WONDERFUL without the vegan cheese, so feel free to skip it

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, juicy ground beef, and flavorful cheese will make all the difference.
- Don't overcook the ground beef. Cook it just until it is browned, or it will become tough and dry.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella is a classic choice, but you can also use queso fresco, pepper Jack, or any other type of cheese that you like.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Besides sour cream, guacamole, and salsa, you can also add sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or any other toppings that you enjoy.
- Let the burrito pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to cut.
Conclusion:
This Mexican burrito pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover ground beef, and it can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it mild or spicy, meaty or vegetarian, this burrito pie is sure to please everyone at your table.
