1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and cauliflower rice. Let the mixture cook for a few more minutes and then let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and half of the shredded colby jack cheese.
4. Assemble the Pie
Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly in the prepared pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over the beef, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the salsa over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
5. Bake the Taco Pie
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden.
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
