  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 23 minute

Ingredients

– 2 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey (or black beans for a vegetarian option)
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 cup refried beans
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
– 1/2 cup taco sauce or salsa
– Cooking spray or oil for frying


Instructions

Creating your Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat and add taco seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
3. Prepare Tortillas: Lightly spray or brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Place one tortilla in a skillet over medium heat, cooking until slightly crispy.
4. Layer Ingredients: Spread half of the refried beans on the crispy tortilla. Next, layer half of the seasoned meat, followed by half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle diced tomatoes and olives on top of the cheese layers.
6. Top with Second Tortilla: Carefully place the second tortilla on top and repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.
7. Fry the Pizza: Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Then, transfer the pizza to a baking sheet.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with taco sauce or salsa.
