- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the sliced black olives, green onions, and crushed tortilla chips on top of the cheese layer.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro, if using.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve it warm. Enjoy with extra salsa, guacamole, or more tortilla chips on the side.
