Instant Pot Taco Pie

Use the Sauté setting on your pressure cooker (or use a frying pan) to brown the meat, stirring in the taco seasoning in about halfway through. Cook meat until done. Set aside. Cancel the sauté setting.

Wash/Rinse out the pot and put 1 1/2 cups of water in it.

Mix the refried beans with the salsa.

Spray a 7"x3" springform or push pan with cooking spray. Place 1 of the tortillas in the bottom of the pan and spread 1/3 of the refried bean mixture over it.

Evenly spread 1 cup of meat, 1/4 cup enchilada sauce (if using), 1 cup refried bean mixture, then 1 cup of cheese. If using additional ingredients, add some before the cheese.

Place a second tortilla in the pan, and press down to compress the layer underneath. Repeat the previous layer, but only add 1/2 cup cheese. Again, if using additional ingredients, add some before the cheese.

Repeat again for the third layer, then place the final tortilla on and gently it press in place.

Cover the pan with foil and place it on the trivet/rack, then place them in the pot. You can also use a sling, under the trivet.

Place the lid on the pot and lock in place. Turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button (or dial) and use the + or - button (or dial) to choose 17 minutes, and High pressure.

When the cooking cycle has ended, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10 minutes (10 minute Natural Release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remainder of the steam/pressure.

After the pin drops, open the lid. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the pan and trivet. For a sling, gather up the two ends of the sling and carefully lift out the pan to a cooling rack. Be very careful, as the pan and the water are hot.

Turn your broiler on to High or 450 degrees (F). Remove the foil from the pan and sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese (or more, up to 1 cup).

Place the pan on the middle oven rack and let the cheese brown to your desired amount. Don't leave it unattended, as it could burn if you don't watch it!

Remove it from the oven to a plate and let it sit for 10-20 minutes to set up and cool a bit.

Carefully remove the springform or push pan, then use a spatula to slide the pie off of the pan bottom. You can also just leave it and serve from it.

Cut the pie into desired serving sizes and garnish with your choice of sour cream, salsa, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, etc.
