Easy Mexican Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
• 0.25 cup thinly sliced jalapeno pepper
• 0.25 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat two pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the beef is evenly browned and easily crumbles. Drain off any excess grease. Season the beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Place one tortilla in each pie plate and cover it with a layer of refried beans. Spread half of the seasoned ground beef over each tortilla, then cover with a second tortilla. Bake in the preheated oven until the tortillas are nice and crispy, approximately 10 minutes.
4. Remove the pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Then, evenly spread half of the salsa over the top of each tortilla. Evenly distribute half of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over each pizza. Arrange half of the tomatoes, green onions, and jalapeño slices evenly over each pizza.
5. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake until the cheese is fully melted, which should take about 5 to 10 more minutes. Allow the pizzas to cool slightly before slicing each one into 4 pieces.
