Homemade Mexican Pizza

Ingredients:

For the pizza:

• 4 large flour tortillas

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade taco seasoning)

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 cup refried beans (canned or homemade)

• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar)

• 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)

• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

• 1/4 cup sliced green onions

• 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)

• 1/4 cup salsa (for serving)

Optional toppings:

• Lettuce, shredded

• Jalapeños, sliced

• Chopped cilantro

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up (this will help crisp the tortillas).

2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.

3. Prepare the Tortillas: While the beef is cooking, place your tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Lightly brush each tortilla with a bit of olive oil (this will help them crisp up in the oven).

4. Crisp the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on the preheated baking sheet (you may need to bake them in batches depending on the size of your baking sheet). Bake for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through.

5. Assemble the Pizza: Once your tortillas are crisp, spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, followed by a generous amount of seasoned ground beef. Sprinkle a good amount of shredded cheese over the top.

6. Bake the Pizzas: Return the assembled pizzas to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the pizzas from the oven and top them with diced tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and any other toppings you like, such as lettuce, jalapeños, or cilantro.

8. Serve: Slice the Mexican pizza into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.

These Homemade Mexican Pizzas are crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. They’re perfect for taco night, a family dinner, or a fun get-together. Enjoy! 😊
