NOTES

  • How To Store: Wrap the leftovers tightly or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator and then enjoy them for up to 3 to 4 days! 
  • What Other Pans Can I Use Instead Of A Springform Pan? You can use any round or square casserole dish!
  • Can I Use Frozen Or Fresh Corn Instead Of Canned Corn? Absolutely, I'd recommend heating it in the microwave first to dethaw it. Then drain it so that it doesn't cause the pie to become watered down.
  • Could I Use Whole Wheat Tortillas In This Taco Pie Bake Recipe? You sure can! You could also use corn tortilla shells if you'd like to as well.
  • Can I Use Two Packets Of Taco Seasoning? Yes, I'd actually suggest that you use two packets if you're someone that really loves that taco flavor!
  • Is There A Good Substitution For Salsa? Try one can of Rotel; however, if you don't have that either, you can use a small can of tomatoes. Then chop up a green bell pepper to add to it!
  • What Can I Use Instead Of Taco Seasoning? The taco seasoning can easily be replaced with 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of cumin.
