Step 1
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease and flour bottom and sides of 9 inch metal or 10 inch glass pie pan. In bowl combine all crust ingredients. Stir until blended (batter will be slightly lumpy). Spread batter thinly on bottom and thickly up sides to within 1/4 inch of pan rim.
Step 2
In skillet, brown ground beef. Add onion and cook until tender. Drain off fat. Stir in remaining ingredients and taste for seasoning. Spoon into crust. Bake 20-30 minutes until crust is deep golden brown. Top with cheese a few minutes before taking out. Sprinkle lettuce and tomato on. Server with sour cream or some Mexican style crema and hot sauce. Serves 6.

Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe. They're offered for convenience, alternative ideas, and points of interest. If you have any comments about them, please post in the Help & Ideas forum.
- If you don't have a 9 inch metal or 10 inch glass pie pan, you can use a 9 inch round cake pan.
- If you want to make the dish spicier, increase the amount of chili powder or taco seasoning.
- Substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option. This substitution will reduce the fat content of the dish, making it a healthier option.
- Substitute the taco cheese with vegan cheese for a dairy-free option. This substitution will make the dish suitable for those following a vegan diet, while still providing a cheesy flavour.
Vegetarian Variation Substitute the ground beef for 1 pound of crumbled tofu and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth. Replace the chili powder or taco seasoning with 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
