Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1 1/2 cups masa harina
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Taco Filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon granulated onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 .5 ounce can pinto or black beans drained
- 1 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained
- 1 cup cheddar or Mexican blend shredded
Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl mix together masa harina, salt, garlic powder, and cumin until combined. Pour the hot water on top of the powders.
- Stir the ingredients until it is fully combined. The dough should come together and be soft like cookie dough. If the dough seems to be sticky or wet, add in a tablespoon more masa flour at a time until the batter is no longer sticky.
- Transfer the dough into a 9" pie dish. Pat the dough into an even layer. You can use the bottom of a cup to help press the dough evenly. Work the dough up the sides and edges of the pie dish. Even out the top edges of the dough. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent the dough from puffing up while it bakes. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil if the edges start to dry out while it bakes.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 min or until dough is baked through.
For the filling
- Add oil to a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add ground beef and heat until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Drain the grease from the skillet.
- Stir in the drained beans to the cooked ground beef.
- In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
- Add the seasonings and 1 can of diced tomatoes and green chilies to the beef mixture. Make sure not to drain the can.
- Stir and cook over medium heat until the ingredients come together and slightly thicken for about 1 minute.
- Pour the filling into the baked crust. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with your favorite taco toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, olives, green onion, avocado, etc.
Notes
- Masa Harina is corn flour found in the Mexican section of most grocery stores.
