Meaty Double Decker Mexican Pizza
A heartier spin on the much loved Tex Mex Mexican pizza, this healthier version is loaded with ground beef and hearty enough to fill up the whole family.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 pkt of taco seasoning
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 1/2-2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 3 large burrito sized tortillas
- 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced, for garnish
- fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef- stirring and breaking up as it cooks- until completely browned. Strain, and return to the skillet.
- Stir in the beans until evenly incorporated and the mixture's smooth. Stir in the tomatoes and taco seasoning until evenly incorporated and the mixture's bubbling. Salt & pepper, if desired, to taste. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Lightly spray a pizza pan with non stick cooking spray. Place one of the tortillas flat in the center of the pan. Spoon 1/3 of the beef mixture out onto the tortilla and use the back of the spoon to spread out in an even layer, but don't spread over the outer edges.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese evenly out over the meat mixture. Top with another tortilla and repeat this a second time.
- Spread the enchilada sauce evenly out over top of the third tortilla. Top with the remaining third of the beef mixture and cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Top with diced tomatoes and cilantro leaves. Use a pizza cutter to slice into 6 pieces, and serve immediately with sour cream on the side. Serve with a crisp side salad for a complete family meal.
