Mexican Pizza Made at Home
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 8 Flour tortillas (small or medium size) 🫓
- 1 lb Ground beef, seasoned with taco spices 🥩
- 1 can (16 oz) Refried beans 🥣
- 1 cup Red enchilada sauce or taco sauce 🍅
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese (Cheddar & Monterey Jack) 🧀
- Fresh Toppings: Diced tomatoes, red onions, and sliced jalapeños 🍅🧅🌶️
- Cooking oil for crisping the tortillas 🍾
👩🍳 Instructions
- Crisp the Tortillas: Lightly fry your flour tortillas in a skillet with a little oil until they are golden and firm. These will serve as your “crust”! 🫓🔥🥇
- The Hearty Layer: Spread a layer of warm refried beans on one crispy tortilla, followed by a layer of seasoned ground beef. 🥩🥣🤝
- Stack It Up: Place a second crispy tortilla on top of the beef. This creates that iconic “sandwich” style base! 🥪✨
- The Topping Base: Spread a generous amount of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla. 🍅🥄✅
- The Cheesy Blanket: Pile on the shredded cheese! Use a blend of white and yellow cheese for that perfect melted look seen in the photo. 🧀👑🙌
- Melt to Perfection: Place your pizzas on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 5–8 minutes (or use an air fryer) until the cheese is bubbly and perfectly melted. ⏲️🧀🔥
- Fresh Garnish: Top with diced tomatoes, red onions, and plenty of jalapeños for a spicy kick! 🌶️🎨💎
- Slice & Serve: Cut into quarters using a pizza cutter and serve immediately while the cheese is stretchy! 🍕🍽️😋✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Crunch” Secret: As shown in the photo, making sure your tortillas are fried until rigid before assembling prevents the pizza from becoming soggy once the sauce is added! 🫓🛡️💎
- The “Flavor” Hack: Add a dollop of sour cream or a scoop of guacamole on the side for the ultimate Mexican pizza experience! 🥑🎯✅
