Mexican Pizza
Description
The Mexican Pizza starts by browning ground beef with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper until cooked through and flavorful. Refried beans are warmed separately to spread easily. Four tostada shells are layered with refried beans, a third cup of ground beef, then topped with a second tostada shell.
On top of the stacked tostadas, enchilada sauce is spread followed by shredded cheese. The assembly is placed under a broiler just a few minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. Fresh diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and sliced black olives garnish the finished pizzas, adding freshness and texture.
The dish presents a mix of crunchy tostadas, savory meat, creamy beans, tangy enchilada sauce, and melted cheese, making it a satisfying hand-held meal or appetizer. The layered construction provides distinct crunchy and soft textures.
