Better-Than-Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

  4.4 – 3 reviews  • Beef

An ideal starter for baby showers or other casual gatherings. This delicious snack is so reminiscent of small slider cheeseburgers.

Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 individual pizzas

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  2. 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  3. 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  4. 1 cup cooked, Mexican-seasoned ground beef
  5. ½ cup taco sauce
  6. ¼ cup red enchilada sauce
  7. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  8. 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  9. ½ cup diced tomatoes
  10. 3 tablespoons sliced black olives
  11. 3 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a deep skillet over high heat. Pan-fry each tortilla turning frequently, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Allow to drain on paper towels.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  3. To assemble each pizza, place 4 fried tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons of refried beans evenly on top of every other tortilla, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons ground beef. Place the other 4 tortillas on top.
  4. Mix together the taco sauce and enchilada sauce in a small bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture on top of the tortillas and spread evenly. Sprinkle ¼ cup of each type of cheese evenly on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and any additional garnishes. Cut into quarters, and serve immediately.
  6. You can use corn tortillas instead of flour. To crisp up the tortillas further, transfer the pan-fried tortillas to a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 to 7 minutes.

This was fantastic! I was so disappointed that my go to (Which is once a year) is off the menu at Taco Bell. I made this tonight it was fantastic!

I just made these tonight and the problem I ran into was the top tortilla did not secure to the bottom so when I tried to cut them it slid apart. I think cheese on the inside or more beans to stick it together would be a good idea. Overall it’s good and a nice change from just tacos.
