Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef 🥩
- 1 Taco Seasoning Packet 🌶️
- 8 Flour Tortillas (taco size) 🌮
- 3 Tablespoons Oil 🛢️
- 30 oz Can Refried Beans 🫘
- 1/2 Cup Mild Salsa (not the kind with liquid) 🍅
- 10 oz Can Red Enchilada Sauce 🌶️
- 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar/Jack Cheese 🧀
- 1/2 Cup Sliced Olives 🫒
- 2 Roma Tomatoes – chopped 🍅
- Shredded Lettuce 🥬
- Sliced Green Onions 🌿
- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream 🍦
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Ground Beef:
Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add the taco seasoning according to the package instructions, using a potato masher to break the beef into smaller crumbles for an even texture. Once cooked, set the meat aside. 🥄
2️⃣ Fry the Tortillas:
In a frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Fry each tortilla until it’s lightly browned and crisp on both sides. You’ll want just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan for the perfect crunch. Once fried, place the tortillas on a paper towel to remove any excess oil. 🍳
3️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking. 🔥
4️⃣ Assemble the Mexican Pizzas:
On a greased rimmed baking sheet, start by placing one tortilla down as the base. Spread a layer of refried beans over the tortilla, followed by a generous layer of the seasoned taco meat. Next, add a layer of salsa. Place a second tortilla on top to form a sandwich-like structure. Spread a layer of enchilada sauce on the top tortilla, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese, followed by sliced olives and chopped tomatoes. For extra cheesy goodness, add a bit more cheese on top. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas to create a total of four Mexican Pizzas. 🥙🧀
5️⃣ Bake the Pizzas:
Place the assembled pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. ⏳
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the pizzas from the oven and slice them into quarters. Top each slice with shredded lettuce, sliced green onions, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Taco Bell Mexican Pizza! 🍕🥗
