Taco Pie

Preheat the Oven

1.    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.    Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a pie pan and set it aside.

Cook the Ground Bison & Vegetables (5–8 minutes)

3.    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground bison and let it brown, breaking it apart as it cooks.

4.    When the bison is mostly browned, push it to the edges of the skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, mushrooms, and zucchini to the center. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and develop a slight caramelization.

5.    Stir in the grated garlic and hot sauce, mixing well to distribute flavors evenly.

6.    Continue cooking for another 5–8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

7.    Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano, stirring to incorporate.

Prepare the Crust

8.    In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.

9.    Stir in the shredded cheese, almond flour, salt, and pepper, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Assemble the Pie

10.  Transfer the bison and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it into an even layer.

11.  Pour the egg-and-cheese batter over the filling, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

Bake (25–30 minutes)

12.  Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden.

13.  If you’ve added extra vegetables, allow an additional few minutes to ensure any excess moisture evaporates.

Cool & Serve

14.  Remove the taco pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to firm up.

15.  Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm.

16.  Garnish with salsa, fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt, guacamole, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
