Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 can refried beans
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup diced green onions
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3
Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked ground beef. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is well coated.
Step 4
Lightly spray a large baking sheet or pizza stone with cooking spray.
Step 5
Place one flour tortilla on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin, even layer of refried beans across the tortilla.
Step 6
Add a layer of the seasoned ground beef on top of the beans. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the beef.
Step 7
Place a second tortilla on top to create a pizza sandwich base. Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa evenly over the top tortilla.
Step 8
Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the salsa, then add toppings such as diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions.
Step 9
Repeat this process for the other tortillas to make additional pizzas, if desired.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 12
Slice each Mexican pizza into quarters using a pizza cutter. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top or on the side.
