How to Make Taste Of Mexico Pie

Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 cup frozen corn (thawed), and 1-2 jalapeños, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference). Stir to combine.
Stir in 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning and the amount of water specified on the seasoning packet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9-inch pie plate with one 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the hamburger mixture into the pie crust.
Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup sliced black olives.
Cover with the remaining pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
