Stacked Tortilla Taco Pizzas Recipe
These Stacked Tortilla Mexican Pizzas have a layer of ground beef filling flavored with taco seasoning and a refried bean layer. They are sandwiched between crispy flour tortillas. This is a very kid-friendly recipe and easy to make for a weeknight meal.
Only 6 Ingredients
- Ground Beef- ground turkey can be used instead.
- Taco Seasoning- you will need one packet. Homemade taco seasoning can be used if you prefer. You will need about 3 tablespoons.
- Onion- yellow, white, or sweet.
- Garlic- half a teaspoon of garlic can be used instead.
- Refried Beans
- Shredded Mexican Cheese- cheddar cheese can be used instead.
- Flour Tortillas- you want the 8-inch size, but you can make do with bigger or smaller tortillas.
The flour tortillas are baked in the oven until crispy before assembling the pizzas to ensure they stay super crispy.
Add Toppings
My favorite thing about these tortilla pizzas, besides the crispy tortillas, is all the toppings. I think that’s what I love about Mexican food so much. It’s so fun to sprinkle stuff on top.
Use whatever toppings you like: fresh chopped cilantro, diced avocado, diced tomato, salsa, chopped red onion. The more the merrier.
I love to pile lots of shredded iceberg lettuce on top. It really helps lighten the meal up and then I feel less guilty. 🙂
Serve with Cholulu Hot Sauce to spice it up!
