Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 can Refried beans
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Warm the refried beans in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until spreadable. Keep warm.
Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry each flour tortilla one at a time until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Preheat your oven's broiler to low.
Assemble the Mexican pizzas: On a baking sheet, place one tortilla, spread a thin layer of refried beans, and top with a layer of seasoned beef.
Top with a second tortilla and spread a generous spoonful of salsa on top. Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the salsa.
Finish with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and thinly sliced green onions.
Place the assembled Mexican pizzas under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then cut into quarters. Serve immediately and enjoy!
