mexican pizzas

I used to have a huge love for Taco Bell. In the past few years, my taste has suddenly changed. I can't stand the taste of their meat, and they ALWAYS end up getting out order wrong anyway. One of my favorite items on their menu is the mexican pizza. Here is a copy cat version, with one exception: you know absolutely everything that is in it! :)

Ingredients:

1 pd ground beef

1 can package of taco seasoning (or 2 Tbsp if you make your own like I do)

1 can of refried beans

1 can of red enchilada sauce

1 package of flour tortillas

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozz cheese 

(you can also do 1 cup of shredded mexican blend in place of the cheddar and mozz)

1 medium tomato, diced

Preheat your oven to 350F. Start browning the meat and drain. Add in the taco seasoning and water, stir. Meanwhile, spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Put 2 tortillas on there and pop it in your heated oven. Bake for about 4-5 minutes and then flip and do the same. Your tortillas should be nicely browned, so keep an eye out. You may need a little less or little more time. Once those two are done, put them aside on a plate and put in two more. This is much easier if you have two baking sheets. Then you can do them all at once.  Repeat the bake, flip, bake cycle with those. Heat up your refried beans in a microwave safe bowl. Once all tortillas are done, put a nice layer of the beans on two of the tortillas. You will have leftover beans. Add a layer of taco meat on top of the beans. Put the second set of tortillas right on top. Spoon enchilada sauce over the tops of the pizzas and then sprinkle cheese over that. Put those bad boys back in the oven for another 5 minutes or so, until cheese is all melted. Sprinkle your tomatoes on and serve! You can also add your favorite hot sauce or sour cream, whatever you like on your mexican pizzas. Delicious! 

By the way, it was hard for my husband to even finish one of these things. Two is plenty for our family. We end up having extra beans, enchilada sauce, and taco meat leftover, so our 2 year old gets some nice tacos instead of the pizza. For some reason he hasn't developed a love of the mexican pizza yet. In time, I bet he will!
