I saw several post that showed a recipe for Mexican Pizza. There were all kinds of recipes for it. I chose what works the best for my taste and developed my own recipe for Mexican Pizza. When I made it the first time, it was very delish! It tasted just like Taco Bell's mexican pizza meal. You will definitely enjoy this meal to the fullest. Here are the recipe...
RECIPE: serves 8 - pizzas
16- 6 in. tortilla shells
1 - 16 oz. refried bean
1 lb ground beef
2 pkg taco seasoning
1/8 cup taco sauce
1 tomato
16 Tbsp. thick 'n' chunky salsa
3/4 c. shredded cheese
3 Tbsp. olive oil
TOPPINGS:
chopped lettuce (optional)
tomatoes (optional)
guacamole (optional)
sliced black olives (optional)
sour cream (optional)
taco sauce (optional)
1 - 16 oz. refried bean
1 lb ground beef
2 pkg taco seasoning
1/8 cup taco sauce
1 tomato
16 Tbsp. thick 'n' chunky salsa
3/4 c. shredded cheese
3 Tbsp. olive oil
TOPPINGS:
chopped lettuce (optional)
tomatoes (optional)
guacamole (optional)
sliced black olives (optional)
sour cream (optional)
taco sauce (optional)
1. First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Brown the beef in a skillet. I like to add about 1/8 cup of minced onions to the beef for enhanced flavor, so this is only optional.
3. In a small pan, add refried bean, 1 package of taco seasoning, and 1/8 cup of taco sauce (you can substitute taco sauce for enchilada sauce). Mix well and stir until smooth and hot.
4. Once the beef is browned and drained, add taco seasoning to the beef per package's instruction. Then set aside both beef and bean.
5. Heat the oil in a skillet and let it get hot first. Then put one tortilla shell in a skillet and let it fry for about 15 seconds per sides then quickly remove it from heat. Use paper towels to absorb the oil from the shell. Repeat the process for the remaining tortilla shells.
6. Once that process is done, it is time to make the pizza. Use a large cookie sheet and then arrange 8 tortilla shells onto the sheet. (If all 8 shells does not fit in a sheet, then you can use multiple sheets to hold the rest of them.) Layer the beans on the shells then beef over it. Place another shell over the beef. Use 2 Tbsp. of salsa and spread it over the second shell on top. Lastly use 1/8 cup of cheese over the salsa.
7. Bake for about 15 minutes. Now you can add all kinds of toppings over the pizza to your preference. I added sliced black olive, tomatoes, black olives, sour cream, and taco sauce on my pizza. The dinner is served! (If you prefer to have some of your toppings cooked, just add your toppings where you want it and then pop it in the oven.

This pizza is great for a main dish or served as appetizers if it's cut into 4 pizza slices.
