Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Large spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 lb 450g ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can 16 oz/450g refried beans
  • ½ cup 120ml tomato sauce
  • 2 cups 200g shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • ½ cup 60g diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup 30g sliced black olives (optional)
  • ¼ cup 30g diced red onion (optional)
  • ¼ cup 30g sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • ¼ cup 60ml sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Salsa guacamole, or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Prepare the Beef

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning according to the packet instructions. Set aside.

Prepare the Tortillas

  • While the beef is cooking, place the tortillas on the baking sheet. You can bake the tortillas for 5-7 minutes until they are crispy, or you can crisp them in a skillet on medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side. This step will give your pizza a sturdy base.

Assemble the Mexican Pizzas

  • Spread a layer of refried beans over each tortilla, using the back of a spoon to smooth it out evenly.
  • Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the beans, distributing it evenly across all the tortillas.
  • Pour a small amount of tomato sauce over the beef and sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Mexican cheese blend over each pizza.
  • Add toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, red onion, and jalapeños to your preference.

Bake the Pizzas

  • Place the assembled pizzas in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden and crispy.

Serve and Garnish

  • Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • Cut the pizzas into quarters and serve with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and your choice of salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce on the side.

Notes

Tips:

  • Customize It: You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, shredded chicken, or even a meatless option like sautéed mushrooms or black beans.
  • Tortilla Tip: For extra crispiness, bake the tortillas before adding toppings.
  • Make It Spicy: Add more heat with extra jalapeños, a drizzle of hot sauce, or sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the top.
  • Vegetarian Option: Skip the beef and add black beans, roasted vegetables, or crumbled tofu for a vegetarian version.
