Taco Bell Mexican pizzas on your mind? Now, though, that necessity is no longer present.
Like what taco bell creates, this is a close approximation, and it tastes nice.
Obviously, if you’re interested in having a variety of Mexican pizzas on hand, you should consider making more than one batch of this recipe since it only calls for ingredients for one pie.
Don’t sit around hoping that Taco Bell would bring back a fan favorite; instead, give this a try right now and see for yourself how similar it is.
Ingredients
1/2 pound of ground meat, either beef or turkey
Taco Seasoning, One-Half Tablespoon
1/2 to 1 cup of refried beans
1-1.5 servings of salsa ( jarred or homemade)
Approximately 14 to 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar (or your desired flavor)
2-inch wide flour tortillas stuffed with the ingredients of your choosing (tomatoes, green onions, olives, etc.).
Instructions:
Get your oven ready at 350 degrees and then sear your beef over medium heat in a skillet.
Toast it in the oven, making sure to brown both sides.
Then, add the taco seasoning and stir-fry it for a minute or two, or until the aroma is released.
You should drain the liquid if there is too much.
Use nonstick cooking spray to coat a baking sheet.
Cover the sheet with a tortilla, spread it with beans, then top it with meat.
Bake for 10 minutes after which you can add the second tortilla on top and return to the oven.
Spread some salsa on the tortilla, and then top it with as much or as little cheese as you like.
To ensure the cheese melts completely, put them back in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
Hold off on slicing into them until they have cooled significantly by sitting on the counter.
Making this is pretty straightforward, and that’s why so many people enjoy it.
Tips
Almost anything would work well atop this. While olives may be a favorite topping for some, tomatoes are preferred by others. The best part is that some individuals want to customize their pizzas with ingredients that aren’t often found on Mexican pizzas, even at Taco Bell.
Of course, you can prepare this in advance and store it in the fridge for later consumption. Then you can make the pizza by taking it out of the freezer, placing it in the oven, and waiting for the perfect moment to sink your teeth into its delicious, chewy crust.
This is fantastic because of that same reason. Many prefer to make their own Mexican pizza at home rather than ordering takeout, and this flexibility is one of the reasons why.
