Mexican Burrito Pie image

This recipe is adapted from La Dolce Vegan cookbook. I really loved this because it was quick, simple, and layered all in ONE dish. I served it with some cumin scented rice and some salsa on the side. The original recipe called for 1 avocado, but I had 2 VERY ripe ones on hand and did not want to waste them. Feel free to use lemon OR lime juice. Pinto beans will also work well here too. I listed the vegan cheese as "optional". I am sometimes "iffy" with vegan cheese (taste, meltability etc.), but every now and again it's ok. I do like "Follow Your Heart" brand Monteray Jack and Mozzarella (available here in supermarkets) Keep in mind these need to be heated to at leat 450 degrees to melt, so for the recipe below, I turned up my oven for the last 10-15 minutes of cook time. This recipe also is WONDERFUL without the vegan cheese, so feel free to skip it

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown. I ended up cooking it for a few extra minutes.

The burrito pie was a little dry. I think it would have been better with a more moist filling.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe was easy to follow and the burrito pie turned out great! I used ground beef, but I think it would also be good with chicken or turkey.
