Make this easy, crispy Mexican Pizza copycat recipe at home. It features seasoned ground beef, refried beans, and melted cheese layered between two tortillas, topped with fresh ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (about 10 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans, warmed
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly brush both sides of the flour tortillas with vegetable oil.
  2. Bake the tortillas directly on the oven rack for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp. Remove and set aside.
  3. While tortillas bake, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water according to the seasoning packet directions. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Place one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread the warm refried beans evenly over the tortilla.
  6. Spoon half of the seasoned ground beef mixture over the beans. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.
  7. Place the second crispy tortilla on top of the beef and bean layer. Spread the remaining refried beans, ground beef, and top with the remaining cheese.
  8. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top layer of cheese.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven. Top immediately with sliced black olives and green onions, if using.
  11. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Notes

  • For a faster prep time, consider using pre-cooked ground beef or leftover taco meat.
  • If you prefer a less messy pizza, you can assemble the layers individually instead of stacking two tortillas.
  • This recipe is a great option for quick meal planning when you need a fast Tex Mex dinner.
