Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- 1 cup ground beef (or chicken)
- 1/2 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (for topping)
- Salsa (for serving)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
- Jalapeño slices (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water (as directed on the seasoning packet), then simmer for a couple of minutes until the beef is coated and flavorful.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly brush or spray the tortillas with a bit of oil on both sides. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 4-5 minutes until they are slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread a layer of refried beans on one of the tortillas.
- Add a generous layer of seasoned beef on top of the beans.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the beef.
- Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese.
- Bake the Pizza:
- Bake the assembled pizza in the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are crispy and golden.
- Top the Pizza:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, olives, green onions, and jalapeños if using.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve with a dollop of sour cream and salsa on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor.
Enjoy your homemade Mexican pizza!
