This is a delicious pie that is inspired by our family Nacho Night; when we gather to munch out on an easy dinner and watch movies. It is spicy but not too hot and sure to please. But you will have to bake several because everyone will want their own as they proclaim its not yo pie its mine

20 minute prep and 25 minutes baking, makes 1 pie, serves 4-6 normal folks or 1-2 hungry bikers

2 tablespoons Smart Balance, or butter
