Minced meat tortilla pie

Tortillas are suitable not only for rolling and filling, but also as a base for pies. So if you’re looking for an easy savory pie recipe, this is for you. The easy tortilla pie is piled into a loose-bottom pan, from which the edges can be easily removed when serving.

The filling of the tortilla pie is of course made in the spirit of Texmex, but the filling and spices can easily be changed to suit your own taste. You can add, for example, beans or corn to the filling, or if you like milder flavors, leave out the jalapenos. The filling can also be made from ground beef, and either regular or whole grain tortillas can be used for the base.
