Mexican Pie

Winter is just around the corner which means it's pie season in my house. The perfect excuse for meat, pastry and sauce to combine into deliciousness.....and lets not forget dessert pies.....


Mexican Pie 
1 brown onion, diced
500g beef mince
140g tomato paste
40g packet Burrito seasoning mix (or make your own)
400g can diced tomatoes
400g can mixed or kidney beans
400g can corn kernels
tortilla wraps
1/2 cup grated cheese

Fresh Salsa
1 avocado, seeded and diced
1 tomato, diced
1 green onion, finely chopped
handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
drizzle of olive oil

corn chips & sour cream to serve

Brown the onion in a large saucepan. When tender, add the mince and cook until browned and easy to break up.

Stir in the tomato paste and the burrito seasoning mix and cook through for about a minute. Add the diced tomatoes, beans and corn. Allow to simmer until the sauce thickens.

Microwave the tortillas for 40 seconds then arrange in a large pie dish or in individual serving dishes. Spray with oil then bake in a moderate oven for 10-15 minutes.

While in the oven, make the salsa by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.

Once the tortillas have started to brown and become crisp, remove them from the oven and spoon the meat mixture into the tortilla shells. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese melts.

Remove from the oven and top with sour cream and salsa, serve with corn chips.
