Mexican Pizza

Who says you have to choose between your love for Mexican flavors and the comforting crunch of a pizza? With this Mexican Pizza recipe, you can have the best of both worlds in one exciting dish! This fusion combines the spicy zest of Mexican cuisine with the universally loved features of a classic pizza, creating a meal that’s not only fun to make but also incredibly satisfying to eat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 packet taco seasoning

  • ¾ cup water

  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans

  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce

  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese

  • 8 flour tortillas, taco size

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your pizzas.

  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once the beef is fully cooked, stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, leaving you with flavorful and moist taco meat.

  3. Crisp the Tortillas: Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the tortillas in the pan, and cook them for 4-5 minutes, flipping them frequently, until they are crispy. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas and oil.

  4. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread approximately ¼ cup of refried beans on each of the crisped tortillas. Top the beans with the seasoned ground beef.

  5. Add Toppings and Second Layer: Place another tortilla on top of the beef layer. Spread about 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over this tortilla, then sprinkle the diced tomatoes evenly across the sauce.

  6. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Colby Jack cheese over the top, making sure to cover the tomatoes and sauce.

  7. Bake: Arrange the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the pizzas are heated through.

  8. Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, let them cool slightly, then slice and serve while warm. Enjoy your delicious homemade Mexican Pizza!
