Mexican Pie Recipe…
The recipe that I had did not include taco meat, but I really think that would be a great addition to this recipe. Then, you might call this recipe a Taco Pie Recipe.
You could easily add a layer of taco meat between the refried beans and avocado.
A cornbread crust and layers of deliciousness. It’s like a fiesta in your mouth!
