Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa (recommended: Pace)
- 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
- 4 garlic-herb wraps (recommended: Mission), or any large tortilla
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (recommended: Kraft)
- 1 (16-ounce) can refried black beans (recommended: Rosarita)
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2 cups lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- Nacho rings, for garnish
Instructions
- Set up the grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil the grate when ready to start cooking.
- In a small bowl, stir to combine the sour cream and salsa; set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Set aside to cool.
- Lay out 2 wraps or tortillas. Divide the cheese and sprinkle over wraps. Top with remaining wraps; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, cook beans on high setting for 4 to 6 minutes in the microwave, or until done. Place the cheese-filled wraps on the hot oiled grill and cook for 2 minutes; turn over. Divide the black beans and spread on top of the wrap. Top with the reserved cooked beef and diced onions. Close the grill and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Remove the pizzas from grill and top with lettuce, tomatoes, and drizzle with the sour cream salsa mixture. Serve hot, garnished with nacho rings.
- INDOOR: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Complete above steps through microwaving the beans. In a skillet large enough to fit the wraps, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully fry both sides of wraps for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown, turning with a large spatula. Transfer wraps to a baking sheet. Spread each wrap with the heated black beans and top with reserved ground beef and diced onions. Place in oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish as directed.

This was simple and yummy for a day when there is no tome to do much cooking. Love the grilling pat too – no hot oven! I wish people that rip these chefs could keep their mouths shut. The jealously really comes through with them. If you are such great chefs why don’t you have a show or published cookbook of your own?
I loved the idea on the show, so today I made mexican pizza. I bought
tomato basil whole wheat wraps. Everything turned out good, except
it was not crispy, as I would liked it. Pizza is great for two people. It rocked for me. Would make it next time.

I nearly had a heart attack when she put the refried beans in the Microwave?! Someone needs to show her how to chop an onion. She really struggles on that one. I agree with the other comments it’s about 75-80% canned or packaged ingredients. Nothing “semi” home cooked here more like processed cheese… Bam!
Although this was not the best I have tasted….Such nasty remarks! You, my dear, should take your pay check and enroll in a spelling course! IMMEDIATELY!
learn how to spell!…people are always so ‘i am perfect and beautiful and do it all’. i make from scratch meals all the time…and still thought this was a good recipe for a busy night. thanks sandra!
Okay I slightly modified the recipe a bit for our budget because we are picky and only eat ground sirloin which can get pricey. I replaced the ground beef with seasoned black beans. It was definitely a thumbs up for my picky husband and will remain on our regular menu.
This recipe was quick and easy and my family LOVED it! Thank you!!
Sandra Lee cooks for moms who are busy with multiple children and may not have a lot of money and this recipe was GREAT for my kids. I did add taco seasoning and my whole family loved it. Thanks Sandra!
Honestly, this is one of the worst recipes I have ever seen! Being a chef, I find it hard to watch this woman! 75% store bought? why don’t you just go buy a pizza? It’ll cost less, and I’m sure your family will understand since you don’t take the time to truly cook. I work full time and ALWAYS have time to cook beautiful meals for my family. She and Rachel Ray should take that food network pay check and enroll at a culinary institute imediatly!
In other words, if we just closed the taco (sans so much filling) it would just be a regular taco. Since coming from a traditional Mexican family, I would say this version of a Mexican Pizza is loudly misunderstood. In my household when you say “We’re having mexican pizza”, hungry guests await 2 red corn tortillas softened w/oil, lay on the plate topped with beef or chicken and enchilada sauce and shredded cheese and topped with 2 more softened red corn tortillas cut into quarters. In my opinion, SL should just stay away from creating her own version of mexican cuisine.
