Mexican Pizza

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE (major understatment) Mexican food. I try my best to make Mexican dishes at home, at least I control the calories. This Mexican Pizza is delicious, very filling, easy and super fun to make. You can adjust the ingredients to your liking and you can choose your toppings.

Recipe Adapted from Delicious Meliscious

What You Need:

1/2 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, diced (optional)
1 package taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
4 wheat tortillas
cooking spray
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 can (8 ounces) refried beans
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup taco or enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded cheese
sliced olives, optional

What To Do:

1. Over medium heat, cook the ground beef until brown, drain. Return to the heat and add the onion & pepper, taco seasoning and water. Continue to cook for several minutes, until cooked through, stirring often.
2. Spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray and place directly on the middle rack of your oven. Bake for about 6 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully so they do not burn. Remove to a baking sheet.
3. Microwave the refried beans for 1-2 min or until spreadable.
4. Lay 2 tortillas out on a baking sheet; top each with a spoonful of the beans, ground beef, and 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another tortilla and lightly press down.
5. Top the second tortillas each with 1/4 cup taco or enchilada sauce. Layer with diced tomatoes, cheese, red onions, green bell pepper, and a few green olives.
6. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and top with sour cream and/or salsa if desired.

Enjoy!!
