Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F degrees and roll out the pie crust.

Gently press it into a pie pan then trim off the excess around the edges.

Poke the bottom of the pie crust with a fork then place a sheet of parchment paper inside of the crust and add some baking beans then bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust is light and golden around the edges.

While the pie crust is baking add the ground beef and onion to a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook and crumble the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain excess grease and place back in the pan.

Then add in the garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder and stir and cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, about one minute.

Add half of the shredded cheese and stir until completely melted then add the salsa and half of the sour cream and stir to combine.

Once the pie crust has cooked, add the ground beef mixture to the crust and evenly spread it out.

Add the remaining shredded cheese on top and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and starts to bubble around the edges.

Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before adding the remaining sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes and olives.

Slice and serve with lime wedges, if desired.
