Description
Make a quick homemade version of the popular fast-food Mexican pizza using crispy tortillas, seasoned beef, beans, and enchilada sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans, warmed
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour tortillas one or two at a time and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until crisp. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Brown the ground beef in the same skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water according to the seasoning packet directions. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To assemble the first pizza layer, place one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread half of the warmed refried beans evenly over the tortilla.
- Spoon half of the seasoned ground beef mixture over the beans.
- Top the beef layer with half of the enchilada sauce and half of the shredded cheese.
- Place the second crispy tortilla on top of the cheese layer. Repeat the layering process: remaining beans, remaining beef, remaining enchilada sauce, and remaining cheese.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven. Top with sliced black olives and diced tomatoes, if using. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use pre-made crispy tortilla shells if you prefer to skip frying the tortillas.
- For a faster version, use pre-cooked ground turkey or pre-cooked seasoned ground beef.
- If you like more sauce, increase the amount of enchilada sauce used in the layers.
