Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Sliced green onions
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water to the cooked beef. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a small saucepan, warm up the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and spreadable.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry one tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy and golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil as needed, and set them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Preheat your oven's broiler on high.
Place one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of warmed refried beans on top, followed by a layer of the taco-seasoned ground beef.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the mixture, then place another tortilla on top to create a 'pizza' stack.
Sprinkle the top tortilla with an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and transfer the baking sheet to the oven under the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the Mexican Pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, black olives, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Slice the pizza into quarters and serve with sour cream on the side or drizzled on top.
