A friend made this and dropped it off to us for dinner. My wife wasn't too crazy about it, but I liked it...I'm not too picky. I wish I had brought more of it in for lunch today. 🤦 I hate when I put together leftovers to bring in for lunch and it looks like a lot when I pack it at home, but turns out to be not much after heating & eating it.

It looks simple to make, and if you like hard tacos where the shell is already busted up (which it's going to do anyway), then give it a try. Your kids might like it anyway.

Just Google "taco pie," and you'll get plenty of recipe ideas (and pics)...from simple to more complex.

I'm not too picky either. Sounds good but how do you prevent a soggy shell? Those things become rubbery after a while.

Frito pie. Try that. Or walking taco.

The reheated/leftover taco pie didn't have much CRUNCH...but like I said...I'm not too pickey. However, as a leftover, with the softer pie crust it was more like a burrito so it's hard tacoes the first day and burritos the second (or third). 😂

If made for a family of 4 or 5 (like us), with a healthy appetite, you probably won't have much leftover, assuming everyone likes it. I think only me and my 1 son thought it was good...I don't know what the other 2 kids thought of it (I showed up to dinner a little late). I just know my wife ended up making a pot of pasta and sauce for them.

Come to think of it, it DOES sound like a Mexican hooker sting operation.

My children eat whats made for dinner. If they don't like it they can have it for breakfast.

I've had the walking taco (in a frito bag). Somewhat similar, but not sure I see us all sitting around the kitchend table eating from a bag of chips. 🙏 Dear 8 lb 6 oz, baby jesus, thank you for this bounty of delicious corn chips which we are about to recieve and bless the hands that prepared it...and opened the bag. 😂

My wife knows my frustration when the kids don't like something and she starts offering other options. 😣 I'm fine with sending them to bed hungry...if they're hungry, they'll eat.

Taco pie, taco salad, taco rings.. We do it all at my house. Kid eats it up like crazy.. Separate lettuce and shells/chips and don't reheat them...just toss them in with the other reheated ingredients and it's all good.

I assume it is. Or at least, it probably used to be. Maybe like Fish Tacos....use the term often enough and it becomes mainstream and before you know it, you find it on menus in family restaurants. What's next Hair Pie at Denny's?

LMAO! I can relate w/Dave and Cooper. If I didn't finish what was on my plate it was "Osterized" and I drank it.

Turned off safe search and it took until the 3rd page to get the "other" taco pie.
