Description

This Mexican Pot Pie is a comforting twist on a classic, swapping traditional chicken for a robust mixture of pinto and kidney beans, corn, and diced vegetables. The filling is rich with warm spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano, creating a deep, savory flavor profile that feels both rustic and refined. Topped with a flaky crust or cornmeal biscuits, it offers a delightful contrast between the soft, stew-like interior and the crispy exterior. Perfect for chilly evenings or as a satisfying weeknight dinner, this dish brings together pantry staples into a cohesive, family-friendly meal that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped onions and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped green peppers, celery, and carrots to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and oregano, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the tomato sauce and mix well, then stir in the thawed frozen corn and mixed beans.
  6. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a splash of water, then stir this mixture into the skillet to thicken the filling.
  7. Transfer the filling to a pie dish or baking pan and top with your chosen crust or dough.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
