Directions

1. Heat 1.5 tbsp Olive Oil in a medium fry pan over medium/high heat
2. Add the ground meat and cook all the way through
3. Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water and simmer for 8 minutes
4. Set aside
5. Spray the inside of the springform pan with nonstick spray
6. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the drained black beans with 2 TBSP of salsa
7. In a second small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the drained black beans with 2 TBSP of the Enchilada Sauce – you can mash the beans into the sauce with a fork if desired
8. Carefully nestle one tortilla in the pan – I found it easiest to form a flower-esque shape with the tortilla and press the center of the flower-shaped tortilla into the center of the bottom of the pan and then press it out from the center. The tortilla is bigger than the pan – just press the excess of the tortilla up the sides of the pan
9. Add the beans & salsa mixture over the tortilla
10. Top with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar / jack cheese mix
11. Add a layer of the meat / taco seasoning mix
12. Top that with another tortilla – be sure to press the tortilla down using the flower method. The excess tortilla can again be pressed up the side of the springform pan
13. Layer the black beans / enchilada sauce mixture on top of that tortilla
14. Top with a layer of 1/2 cup of the cheese mix and a layer of the meat
15. Top that with another tortilla and press into the mixture and up the sides of the pan
16. Add one more layer of cheese (1/2 cup) and the last of the meat
17. Top with a final tortilla
18. Take a generous spoonful of Enchilada sauce and smother it over the final, top tortilla
19. Cover the pan with aluminum foil
20. Put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the InstantPot
21. Place the InstantPot rack in the pot and carefully place the covered springform pan on the rack
22. Put the lid on and position the knob to ‘Sealing’
23. Set the InstantPot to ‘High Pressure’ for 10 minutes
24. After the cooking time is done, allow for a 5 minute natural release, then release the pressure manually
25. Heat your oven to Broil – High
26. Carefully remove the springform pan from the pot and place pan on a cookie sheet
27. Remove the aluminum foil and top the Taco Pie with the final 1/2 cup of cheese
28. Place in the oven and broil until the cheese is bubbly
29. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes
30. Carefully remove the springform outer from the pan and slide the pie onto a large cutting board
31. Top with chopped cilantro and serve with offerings of sour cream, additional cilantro and hot sauce
