Copycat Mexican Pizza Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by cooking ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning until browned and drained. Large flour tortillas are lightly toasted until they develop a slight crispness and golden spots. On a baking sheet or pizza stone, a tortilla is topped with refried beans, shredded Mexican blend cheese, and the seasoned beef, then covered with another tortilla to form the pizza base.
The top tortilla is spread with red enchilada sauce, avoiding the edges, and sprinkled again with cheese. The assembled pizza is then placed under a broiler briefly to melt the cheese and slightly crisp the edges. After resting, it is garnished with fresh chopped tomatoes, sprigs of cilantro, and dollops of sour cream, adding freshness and creaminess alongside the warm, savory layers.
This dish offers layered textures from the crunchy tortillas and melted cheese to the creamy beans and tender beef. It is suitable for a casual meal serving two pizzas, each can be sliced and enjoyed as a shareable entree. Nutritional information varies based on ingredient brands and quantities.
