Anyway!
I do not promise to bring you authentic Mexican cuisine, but I do promise you that what I am about to share is freakin’ amazing. My kids had to fight me to share this one with them.
I got the idea for this from my taco casserole. I figured, hey, a burrito casserole might be a good idea too. I was right. I was like the rightest I’ve ever been in my life.
Ingredient Notes:
Taco Meat – We use ground beef in this recipe, but you could use any type of meat you like burritos. The chicken from our crockpot chicken tacos would be perfect. This keto taco seasoning is perfect to use on your meat.
Salsa – You can use the jarred stuff from the store or if you’ve got the time make my homemade restaurant style salsa!
Rice – We’re seasoning cooked white rice with cilantro and lime. You can use minute rice to keep it easy or make rice from scratch.

How to Make Burrito Pie:
Rice: I made the rice in my Instant Pot, which I love. It makes perfect rice every time! I rinse my rice with water, drain well, and then do equal parts rice to water in the pot. I set the vent to sealing and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. I let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then open it up and stir. Perfectly fluffy rice every time! Here’s the Instant Pot I use. 🙂
When the rice is cooked add it to a mixing bowl along with the lime juice, cilantro, and salt and stir it up well.
Taco Meat: We use ground beef in this recipe, but you could use any type of meat you like burritos. Shredded beef, pulled pork, shredded chicken, ground turkey…it’s all good!
Brown the beef, season with taco seasoning, and get ready to layer it all together.
Layers: Next up you can start making the actual pie and filling it with layers of good stuff!
In a deep dish pie plate, place a 10 inch flour tortilla on the bottom and spread the sour cream on top of the tortilla. Then top that with some of the rice, taco meat, salsa and cheese. That’s one layer done!
Top all that with another flour tortilla and then add two more layers of the rice, meat, salsa and cheese, topping each with another tortilla and pressing down.
Finally add one last layer of tortilla, sour cream, salsa and cheese to top it off!Bake: It shouldn’t take long for this burrito pie recipe to finish baking. After about twenty minutes the cheese should be all hot and melty and the layers baked together. This goes great with even more toppings like diced tomatoes and our homemade guacamole. Serve it while it’s hot!
