Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 0.5 pounds Ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water to the cooked meat. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread an even layer of refried beans on each tortilla, followed by a layer of the seasoned meat.
Sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese on top of each tortilla and arrange diced tomatoes, green onions, and sliced black olives over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
