Mexican Pizza (Taco Bell Copycat)

Step 1

In a large frying pan or skillet on medium heat add the ground beef. Use a spatula or spoon to break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Sauté for about 5-8 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Remove grease from the pan.

Step 2

Add in the taco seasoning, water and enchilada sauce. Stir until evenly combined. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

To assemble the pizzas, spread a layer of refried beans on one tortilla. Then top with ground beef. Add a layer of cheese and top with another tortilla.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce on top of the tortilla and top with shredded cheese to evenly cover the top.

Step 5

Repeat with remaining tortillas to assemble all the pizzas.

Step 6

AIR FRYER COOKING METHODPreheat Air Fryer to 400°F. Working in batches (my air fryer fits one pizza at a time) carefully place the pizza in the air fryer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy. Repeat with remaining pizzas.OVEN BAKING METHODPreheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with tin foil or parchment paper for easier clean up (optional). Arrange the pizzas on the sheet pan leaving a space between them. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.PAN FRYING METHODIn a large frying pan with a lid, on medium heat add a splash of oil to coat the pan. Add one pizza at a time and cover with the lid. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese melts and the bottom tortilla is crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pizzas to a serving plate and top with the optional garnishes – tomatoes, red onion, olives, sour cream, and green onion. Serve and enjoy!
