Taco Pie

After a long weekend of not a lot to do, I decided to make a proper meal for when my other half came visiting, and I wanted to try something new and exciting. I looked through several websites, some of my recipe books, and most of the food blogs I read regularly. A lot was tempting, but this recipe caught my eye. I had been craving Mexican food for a while, and this one was a bit different from what you usually think of when you think of taco. It was a great success, and the "hubby" ordered it again after only a few days. And I loved it!

Ingredients:
1 roll of ready made pastry (You can make your own, but I decided to do it the easy way)
500 g mince meat
1 sachet of Taco meat spice mix (2 if you want it extra spicy)
1 chopped onion
100 ml water
1 tin chopped tomato
300 ml crème fraîche
A pinch of pepper
Some garlic (powder, fresh or purée)
Grated cheese

The meat can be changed after what you prefer. I want to try making it with chicken some time, but for now I've only made it with lean minced beef.

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C
2. Cook the mince and onion in a pan.
3. When it's cooked through, add the taco spices and water, give it a quick stir, and add the tomato.
4. Mix the crème fraîche, pepper and garlic after taste
5. Pour the meat mix in the prepared pastry
6. Pour the crème fraîche over the meat, and add cheese on top. Be careful with the crème fraîche, as it might be a bit much. I left out about 50 ml, which I used kept and used as a topping.
7. Put in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

Serve hot with a green salad and soured cream topping
