I make this taco pie that everyone in my house loves, even my daughter, who doesn't like Mexican food.
First cook your meat. I have my own special mix I use for mexican flavored meat, but you can use one of those spice mixes.
Then in a cake pan layer I do it in this order, but probably not necessary salas, tortilla, refried beans, meat, corn, diced jalepeno then cheese. I have a few keys that make it easier. Check your cake pan before you go to the market, buy that size soft tortillas. Also, spread the refried beans on the tortilla before you put it in the pan. I use a can of mexicorn, I generally don't use canned products, but they work in this recipe. The same with the peppers, they are canned. I use a mexican blend cheese. I like to add some sliced olives in mine as well, but that's just me.
Finish your layering with salsa. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes then top with cheese for the last 5, just let the cheese melt. Let it cool for about 5 minutes and slice. Cut a smaller piece than you think it's really rich. Serve with sour cream and extra salsa.
My friend makes introduced me to this dish, and I changed it a little bit. It's a great way to use up any extra tomato sauce as well.
I sautee up 1 medium onion and 1/2 a pepper and then add some ground meat. It doesn't matter what type, I have used chicken, burger, turkey and pork. Obviously they all taste different, but just slightly. Then add some sauce. Not too much, just enough to bind the meat. Probably about 1 c. Then cut the top off a loaf or bread or roll. I like rolls better, they seem neater to me and it's easier to keep the filling in for me. Hollow out the middle and toast it at 350 just until it's slightly brown. Fill 3/4 of the way with the meat mixture, then top with a little ricotta cheese and then with mozz cheese. Put the top back on and pop it back in the oven for about 15 minutes.

One thing that I've found to be great, simple, and fun for all.....gourmet pizza. If you have a pizza place that has a GREAT dough....stop in and get some "dough to go". Then head to the best local fresh market and pick up some fresh produce, herbs, and whatever else sounds tasty (shrimp, crab.......) With your sauce, be creative. Pick up some of your pizzeria’s red sauce, Alfredo, or even BBQ sauce with lemon zest will make your creation memorable. But most importantly.....have fun and enjoy!
