Taco-Inspired Mexican Pizza
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 8 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 green onion, chopped
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1/2 avocado, diced
  • 1 tablespoon black olives, sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
Next, cook the refried beans in a saucepan over medium heat until they are heated through. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
3
In a separate pan, sear the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is browned. Add the seasoning packet to the pan and stir well.
4
While the beans are cooking, prepare your oven rack for baking. Place a small amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the oil is hot.
5
Carefully place one corn tortilla in the skillet and let it cook for 15 seconds on each side. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, allowing them to drain on paper towels after each use.
6
Once the tortillas have been heated and drained, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
7
Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tortilla, followed by a layer of browned ground beef and shredded cheese.
8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the tortillas into wedges and arrange them on plates or a serving platter.
10
To serve, top each tortilla wedge with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, sliced chiles, mashed avocado, and pitted olives.
