Mexican Pizza
Servings – 4 Large or 6 Small
Prep Time – 10 Minutes
Cook Time – 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or turkey, I use turkey
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon chili powder
2 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and Pepper
1-16oz can refried beans, I use reduced fat
8-10" flour tortillas
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 green onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup thinly sliced jalapeño pepper, optional
1/2 cup sour cream, optional
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat 2 pie plates or parchment paper 2 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
Place ground beef or turkey, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef/turkey is evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Season beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Lay one tortilla on baking sheet or in pie plate, and cover with a layer of refried beans. Spread 1/2 of the seasoned ground beef over each one, add shredded cheese (optional) and then cover with a second tortilla. Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes.
Remove pizzas from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Then spread 1/2 of the salsa over each top tortilla. Cover each pizza with 1/2 of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Place 1/2 of the tomatoes, 1/2 of the green onions, and 1/2 of the jalapeño slices onto each one.
Return pizzas to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Let pizzas cool slightly before slicing each one into 4 pieces.
