Notes
This taco pie recipe is best enjoyed fresh from the oven. However, if you have leftovers they can be covered in foil and placed in the fridge and stored for up to 3 days.
The pie freezes well too! Simply make it as instructed below, then let it cool. Cover it with foil and freeze.
Whenever you want to reheat it, I suggest using the oven. Bake it until hot, then serve and enjoy!
Alternatively, you can also bake as instructed, then cut the pie into individual portions and freeze in airtight containers. This makes a quick grab and go meal on those busy days.
