I recently found Almond Flour Tortillas that work well in this for the lower Carb crowd. Use what ever Tortillas suit Your tastes you can use Corn or other Gluten free Tortillas to change it up as well.
You can change this Recipe up in so many ways, use pulled Pork, Shredded Beef, Shredded or chopped Chicken. It all has to be precooked though. I recently made it from Leftover Pork Tenderloin Taco meat and added a can of Black Beans and a cup of cooked Rice. (Last Pics). Just make sure your filling isn’t too dry.
The Original Recipe was given to me many many years ago from my Sister, I have made many versions of it over close to 40 yrs now.
Use this same process for Enchilada Pie and switch up with Chicken or Pork or both. See the pulled Pork in the last 3 photos.
For Enchilada Pie, dip your fried tortillas in enchalada sauce and serve with the sauce instead of Salsa.
For Burrito Pie made in a Spring form Pan either for the IP or Oven see Below.
Preheat oven to 350°
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FILLING:
6-8 …8” Flour Tortillas Or Burrito Size if you cut want to cut them down.
1 lb Hamburger.
1 Finley chopped Onion about 1 1/2 cups.
3 cloves Garlic minced.
1 tsp Cumin.
1 tsp Oregano or Italian seasoning.
1 1/2 tsp Chili powder.
1 reg can Refried beans OR 1 can Black Beans
1 c Salsa
Salt and pepper to taste
Flour Tortillas lightly fried in oil, but you can use corn or the blended ones.
2 c Mexican cheese blend. Divided into 3
1-4 oz can chopped green chili peppers.
GARNISH:
Lettuce, Tomato, Olives, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Cheese, Salsa. Your choice.
DIRECTIONS:
Lightly fry the Tortillas …but not too crisp. Unless you cut them to your pans size. Set aside and keep warm.
Brown and Drain Hamburger, add Onion and Garlic and sauté til translucent. Add Spices Salsa and Beans. Keep filling Hot.
For Oven …..Grease a 9x 13 Pan, I like butter for more flavor.
Add layer of Tortillas to the greased Pan.
Spread 1/2 of the cooked meat mixture, then Sprinkle 1/3 of the Cheese and then lay down more Tortillas. Repeat with Meat and Cheese, then top with more Tortillas and then the last of the Cheese.
Bake in 350° oven for about 15-20 min. Until Hot and Bubbly and Cheese is Melted.
This is one of the best ways I think .
FOR THE IP, line the bottom of a spring form pan that will fit the IP.
Line the Bottom with Parchment Paper unless you have a leak proof Pan like I do.
Spray the Sides of the Pan.
Put 1 fried Tortilla down into the bottom.
Spoon 1/2 inch thick layer of Meat Filling, sprinkle with Cheese….
Repeat with another Tortilla, Filling, Cheese, etc…. and top with Tortillas and Cheese. I used 5 tortillas.
Spray Foil and cover tightly.
Pour 1 c water in the inner Pot, use a long handled Trivet and lower the Pie down into the Pot on the Trivet. Set manual for 20 min, and when it beeps, leave it to do 10 min NPR (natural pressure release) . It will be 150° Cheese will be melted.(. if you want it hotter I suggest 25 min cook time with 10 min npr) Lift out and serve quickly. hint….a serrated knife works best. Gentle quick sawing motion rather than pushing down.
While it’s cooking prep your Garnishes
