Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 8-inch flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 2 cups Mexican cheese, grated
- For topping:
- Sour cream
- Black olives, sliced
- Iceberg lettuce, chopped

Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in the refried beans, taco seasoning, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Place one flour tortilla at the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread 1/5 of the beef mixture evenly over the tortilla, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese. Repeat the layers—tortilla, beef, cheese—ending with a tortilla on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let the taco pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, black olives, lettuce, and tomatoes.
