Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 2 Mexican pizzas

Ingredients

  1. ½ pound ground beef
  2. 1 medium onion, diced
  3. 1 clove garlic, minced
  4. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  5. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  6. ½ teaspoon paprika
  7. ½ teaspoon salt
  8. ½ teaspoon black pepper
  9. 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  10. 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  11. ½ cup salsa
  12. 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  13. 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  14. 2 green onions, chopped
  15. 2 tomatoes, diced
  16. ¼ cup thinly sliced jalapeño pepper
  17. ¼ cup sour cream (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 2 pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Season beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Lay one tortilla in each pie plate, and cover with a layer of refried beans. Spread 1/2 of the seasoned ground beef over each one, and then cover with a second tortilla. Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Turned out really good I wanted to try this for a while now I love to cook a variety of eclectic dishes
Adrian Thomas
This recipe is a keeper. I made them as per the recipe, and they were delicious!
Kenneth Austin
This is excellent and will make again in the future. Good with eggs for leftovers. I made one with beef and one with chicken. Also used black beans.
William Romero
I used one flour tortilla for each pizza. I used Colby Longhorn and Mozzerella cheeses. Excellent Mexican pizza!!!!
Steven Murray

Delicious easy to make dinner
Megan Smith
Whole family enjoyed these. I took the easy way out due to time and used a packet of taco seasoning instead of the individual seasonings. Doubled the recipe and put the pizzas on cookie sheets. I would prefer crispier shells so I will try and put the bottom shell in the oven to toast it before layering the toppings. Topped it with cilantro and avocado once it came out of the oven.
Karen Reese
So yummy! I omitted the meat as were vegetarian and just added the spices to the onions and garlic while they were sautéing. I’ll definitely make again!
Kimberly Pham DDS
It is delicious and my boyfriend loves it. I added diced jalapeño peppers to the burger mix and extra cheese on top of it all. It will be part of our menu for the future!
Elizabeth Perry
This pizza satisfied my craving for a light Mexican meal. I made this for lunch today. Super easy. Instead of two pie plates, I used a rectangular glass baking dish. No dramatic changes to ingredients made other than turkey in lieu of beef. Very good!
Robert Tate
Good texture. The refried beans actually gave it more substance. It was really good.
Alexis Hunt
I used homemade enchilada sauce instead of salsa, and yellow tomatoes. I also made my own tortillas. If I make again I’ll toast the tortillas a bit so they are crisper.
Cynthia Douglas
I used taco seasoned ground turkey, refried black beans, and just a small amount of green salsa on each pizza. Topped with sharp cheddar, jalapeno slices, black olives, tomatoes, onions, fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. I baked the tortillas prior to assembling the pizzas to crisp them per some of the suggestions. These were delicious!
Leroy Gray
Awesome. Kids asked to have it more often.
Linda Fritz
Family loved it, Used a little cayenne pepper to spice not up. I’ll be making again.
Aaron Sanchez
loved it! it’s super easy to make and tastes amazing. i changed the recipe a little bit, like using pasta sauce instead of salsa, etc
Amanda Nielsen
Super delicious recipe! Way better than I thought it would be. The family loved it. I will be adding this to my regular rotation, especially on a sports night! I did use medium spiced refried beans and Monterey Jack cheese with habaneros. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. Very filling. Very good!
Christopher Anderson
Made it exactly as directed and my whole family LOVED it!
Charles Kramer
Tickled my family’s tastebuds. Loved it.
Jessica Ramirez
I like the pie pan usage and I did make it that way, but to keep the bottom tortilla more flat, what about a springform pan or heat proof skillet? One other thing I would change is that in place of the salsa, taco sauce instead. Less chunky, spreads more easily.
