Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Small flour tortillas
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup Cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Use a round cookie cutter to cut each tortilla into smaller circles, about 3 inches in diameter. You should get 2-3 mini circles per tortilla.
Lightly spray both sides of the cut tortilla circles with cooking spray, and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the tortilla circles in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until they are slightly crisp but not browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a small pan, heat the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and follow package instructions to season the meat. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tortilla circle. Top with a spoonful of the seasoned meat, followed by a small amount of salsa.
Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend generously over each mini pizza.
Return the tortilla circles to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Garnish each pizza with a dollop of sour cream, a few diced tomatoes, slices of black olives, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Pizza Appetizers!
