Instructions
1. Prepare the Tortilla Base
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush both sides of each tortilla lightly with vegetable oil.
- Place the tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden. (Tip: Watch closely to avoid burning!)
2. Cook the Beef Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
3. Prepare the Bean Mixture
- In a small saucepan over low heat, mix the refried beans with salsa. Stir until smooth and heated through.
4. Assemble the Pizzas
- Spread a thin layer of the bean mixture on one crispy tortilla.
- Add a layer of seasoned ground beef on top.
- Place another crispy tortilla on top like a “lid.”
- Spread a spoonful of salsa on the top tortilla, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake the Pizzas
- Return the assembled pizzas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Add Fresh Toppings
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and jalapeños.
- Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
7. Slice and Serve
- Use a pizza cutter to slice each Mexican pizza into quarters. Serve immediately and enjoy!
