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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spread an even layer of refried beans on each tortilla, followed by a layer of the seasoned meat.
Step 6
Sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese on top of each tortilla and arrange diced tomatoes, green onions, and sliced black olives over the cheese layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Carefully remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters.
Step 9
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
