Mexican Pizza


Seasoned ground beef, enchilada sauce and cheese stuffed between two golden flour tortillas. Am I in Heaven?  These will be a hit with the whole family!





INGREDIENTS
  1. 1 pound lean ground beef
  2. 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
  3. 1/2 cup water
  4. 6 medium-size flour tortillas
  5. 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  6. 1 (16 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  7. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  8. 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
  9. 1 tomato, diced
  10. 1 green onion, diced
  11. 1 small can sliced olive


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Take 2 baking sheets and spray them with non-stick spray. Place 3 tortillas on each baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, carefully flip tortillas over while they’re still in the oven (*don’t burn yourself please*) and then bake another 5 minutes to crisp on the other side. You want tortillas a slight golden color and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain grease. Add taco seasoning and water. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans until warmed through. Spread a thin layer of beans on one tortilla. Top with 1/3 of the meat mixture. Place another tortilla on top of the meat. Spread 3 Tablespoons of enchilada sauce on top of the top tortilla. Sprinkle with some cheddar cheese and pepper-jack cheese. Add a few dices of tomato, green onion and olives.
  4. Repeat process with the remaining tortillas. You will have 3 Mexican pizzas total.
