Skinny Instant Pot Taco Pie

/

Tacos aren't just for Tuesdays! Especially with this ooey gooey healthy recipe for Skinny Taco Pie. Not only will it not wreck your weight loss efforts, but it also won't eat in to your well-deserved down time. Think cross between enchiladas and tacos - this warm and delicious recipe combines lean ground beef, melty cheese, and creamy refried beans. Now you can replace Taco Tuesday with Taco Pie Tuesday - woohoo!!

Pro Tips:

  • Use a spring-form pan that fits inside of your instant pot (7 or 8 inches). That way you can easily peel away the outer portion of the pan, then slice and serve your taco pie beautifully.
  • If you don't have an Instant Pot - that's ok too! Simply pop your Taco Pie in the oven instead at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • If you don't have a springform pan you can use a stainless steel steamer dish (as I used above) or any other dish that fits inside of your instant pot. It will just be more challenging to cut and serve your taco pie.
