For extra flavor, consider adding a layer of seasoned sour cream or guacamole before adding the cheese. If you don't have Mexican cheese blend, you can use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination of your favorite cheeses. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with black beans, sautéed vegetables, or plant-based crumbles.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully pan-fry each tortilla, turning frequently, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Add more oil as needed to prevent sticking. (2-3 minutes per side)
02
StepTransfer the fried tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. This will help them maintain their crispness. (5 minutes)
03
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (10 minutes)
04
StepTo assemble the pizzas, arrange 4 fried tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of warmed refried beans evenly over two of the tortillas. Top the bean-covered tortillas with 2-3 tablespoons of the Mexican-seasoned ground beef. Place the remaining tortillas on top, creating a layered base. (10 minutes)
05
StepIn a small bowl, combine the taco sauce and enchilada sauce. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of this sauce mixture evenly over each assembled pizza. (2 minutes)
06
StepSprinkle ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of Mexican cheese blend over each pizza, ensuring even coverage. (2 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. (3-4 minutes)
08
StepRemove from the oven and immediately garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions. Add any additional toppings you desire, such as jalapeños, sour cream, or diced avocado. (2 minutes)
09
StepSlice each pizza into quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Mexican Pizza!
