Homemade Mexican Pizza

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Add the chopped onion and cook until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
2. Season the Beef: Season the beef with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and cayenne pepper. Alternatively, use a taco seasoning packet. Stir in the minced garlic.
3. Fry the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil. Lightly fry the flour tortillas over medium heat on both sides until golden brown (approximately 1-2 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
4. Assemble the Pizzas:
   • Spread a layer of refried beans on each fried tortilla.
   • Top with a scoop of seasoned ground beef.
   • Add a layer of shredded cheese.
   • Place another fried tortilla on top.
   • Drizzle with taco sauce.
   • Top with more shredded cheese.
5. Bake: Bake the assembled pizzas in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Garnish with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Slice each pizza into 4 pieces and enjoy!

Tips:

• Feel free to add your favorite taco toppings, such as lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, or jalapenos.
• For a spicier pizza, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.
• You can use any type of cheese you prefer.
