Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • ½ cup refried beans
  • ½ cup cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas: Brush both tortillas with olive oil on one side. Place them on the baking sheet, oiled side up.
  3. Assemble the First Layer: Spread a layer of refried beans evenly over one tortilla. Top with cooked ground beef or shredded chicken, salsa, and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  4. Layer the Second Tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top of the first one, pressing down gently. Brush the top tortilla with olive oil.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Add Toppings: Remove from the oven and top with chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives (if using), and any other desired toppings.
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut the Mexican pizza into slices and serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the toppings and refried beans ahead of time, storing them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble and bake when ready.
  • Customizing the Flavor: For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or use spicy salsa. You can also add guacamole or shredded lettuce as toppings after baking.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve this Mexican pizza with a side of sour cream, fresh salsa, or a light salad.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
