Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425℉ degrees and roll out the pie crust.
Gently press it into an 8 or 9" pie pan then trim off the excess around the edges.
9 inch Pie Crust
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 onion to a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
1 Cup White Onion
Add the ground beef. Cook and crumble the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain excess grease and place back in the pan.
1 Pound Ground Beef
Next, add in the taco seasoning and stir while cooking until the garlic becomes fragrant, about one minute.
1 Taco Seasoning Packet, 2 Cloves Garlic
Add half of the shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of the sour cream and salsa and stir to combine.
3 Cups Colby Jack Cheese, 1/2 Cup Sour Cream, 3/4 Cup Salsa
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.
