Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉. Press one tortilla into a 9 inch pie dish. Cover the bottom with the cheese slices. Then press the other tortilla into the pie dish and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat your oil on medium and add in the onion. Saute for 3 minutes then stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Add in the ground meat and using a wooden spoon, break up the meat until no longer pink. If at the end there are juices, soak them up with a paper towel. Next, stir in the potato starch to coat all.
  • Pour the broth in followed by the ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, sriracha, herb blend seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Transfer the mixture to the pie dish and flatten out evenly. Evenly distribute the pickles, then the tomatoes and top with the mozzarella. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and tortilla edges are browned. Allow to set for 5 minutes then slice and serve.

Notes

Optional: garnish with chili pepper flakes or toasted sesame seeds.
