How To Make These Mexican Pizzas:

  2. Warm the refried beans in the microwave.
  3. Briefly fry each tortilla in a little oil.
  4. Lay half the tortillas on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  5. Spread the tortillas with refried beans and then place about 1/3 cup of ground beef mixture on each one.
  6. Sprinkle with a little cheese.
  7. Top with remaining tortillas and spread enchilada sauce on each one.
  8. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Toppings to Serve with This Recipe:

The more toppings the better. Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, diced tomatoes, olives, cilantro, diced red onion, pickled jalapenos, and diced avocado are all great choices. I sometimes like to serve these pizzas on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce. To add some heat, serve with Cholulu Hot Sauce.

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce

    You’re basically there, but when I worked at taco bell 30 years ago, the pizza sauce was nothing like enchilada sauce – it was sweeter than that. That being said, I don’t have an alternate to point you to, because it was unlike any other sauce I’ve ever tasted. To be honest, it was pretty terrible on its own, so I can’t imagine anything comparable being commercially available. Maybe a cheap, chunky salsa, watered down just a bit, maybe with some simple syrup. Like I said, it was sweet. But somehow it worked in the Mexican pizza.

    Oh, and the cheese blend was different for that, too. It had lots more white cheese in it. I assumed it was mozzarella, but not sure.
