• Mazola Pure® Cooking Spray (as needed for spraying)
• 0.75 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Cups masa corn flour
• 2 Envelopes Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast, packaged
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.75 Cups milk, warmed
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) Mazola® Corn Oil
• 1 Whole egg
• 1 Cup salsa, chunky
• 1 Cup Mexican-style cheese, shredded
• 1 Cup corn chips, crushed

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Start with a cold oven as per the original recipe instructions.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning to the beef, mixing well to ensure even coating. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, masa corn flour, Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast, sugar, and salt.
4. Gradually add the warm milk, Mazola® Corn Oil, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
5. Lightly spray a 9-1/2-inch deep dish pie plate with Mazola Pure® Cooking Spray. Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Evenly distribute the seasoned taco meat over the batter. Pour the chunky salsa over the meat, spreading it to cover the surface.
7. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican-style cheese over the salsa, followed by the crushed corn chips.
8. Place the dish in the cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Savory Mexican Taco Bake with a side of sour cream or guacamole for added flavor!
