Description

A delightful blend of Mexican flavors and traditional pizza elements, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound of lean ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
  • 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • 1 green onion, diced
  • 1 small can sliced black olives
  • Optional: jalapeños or avocado slices for an extra kick


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray.
  2. Place three tortillas on each sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes. Flip and bake for another 2-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water into the cooked beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the refried beans for about 1 minute.
  6. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on a crispy tortilla, then add 1/3 of the seasoned beef mixture on top. Place a second tortilla on top.
  7. Spread 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce on the top tortilla, then sprinkle with cheddar and pepper-jack cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, and sliced olives.
  8. Repeat for remaining pizzas.
  9. Place the assembled pizzas in the oven for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Try different types of tortillas like corn or whole wheat for added flavor. Experiment with toppings for a personalized touch.
