Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Beef 93% Lean
  • 1 ounce Taco Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 16 Corn Tortillas
  • 16 ounces Refried Beans
  • 10 ounces Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 4 Roma Tomatoes finely diced
  • 2 cups Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
  • 3 Green Onions finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Once heated, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef, then add the water. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, arrange 8 corn tortillas as the base for your first layer. Place them closely but not overlapping.
  • Using a spatula, spread half of the refried beans evenly over the tortillas, ensuring every bite gets a taste of the creamy goodness.
  • Layer half of the seasoned beef mixture over the refried beans, spreading it out evenly.
  • Drizzle half of the red enchilada sauce over the beef layer, allowing it to soak into the tortillas.
  • Sprinkle one cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top. Then, add half of the diced Roma tomatoes and green onions.
  • Repeat steps 3 to 7 with the remaining tortillas and ingredients to create a second layer.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares, garnish with remaining green onions, and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade Mexican pizza with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein alternative.
  • Swap refried beans with black beans for a different texture and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven covered to keep crust soft.
  • Don’t overload toppings to avoid soggy tortillas.
  • Add jalapeños or spicier taco seasoning to increase heat.
