Taco Foldovers Recipe 🌮🔥
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This ensures it’s nice and hot for baking later on. |
| 2 | Prepare Crust: If you’re using a homemade pie crust, roll it out into two rounds, similar to how you would for a double-crust pie. |
| 3 | Place Crusts: Lay the pie crusts on an ungreased cookie sheet. This will be the base for your delicious foldovers. |
| 4 | Mix Mayo and Salsa: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and salsa until well combined. This creates a flavorful base for your filling. |
| 5 | Spread Mixture: Spread the mayo-salsa mixture evenly over each pie crust. This will add a creamy and tangy layer to your foldovers. |
| 6 | Add Ingredients: Sprinkle half of each crust with the chopped tomato, green onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. These ingredients add texture and flavor to the filling. |
| 7 | Fold Crusts: Fold the untopped half of each crust over the filling. It’s important not to seal the edges, as this allows steam to escape during baking. |
| 8 | Bake: Place the assembled foldovers in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. |
| 9 | Serve: Once baked, remove the foldovers from the oven and cut them into wedges, similar to slicing a quesadilla. This makes them easy to share and enjoy! |
| 10 | Optional Toppings: For extra flavor and freshness, top your foldovers with shredded lettuce, sliced ripe olives, sour cream, and additional salsa, if desired. These toppings add a burst of color and variety to your dish. |
