Mexican Pizza Like Taco Bells

Teenie4356's Note:

This tastes exactly like Taco Bells Mexican Pizzas.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 35 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
• 2 tablespoons water
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans, warmed
• 2/3 cup mild picante sauce or 2/3 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or 1 cup monterey jack cheese, blend
• 1/4 cup chopped tomato
• 1/4 cup chopped green onion

Directions:

1. -Using your hands, mix together beef, taco seasoning, and water.
2. -Brown the beef mixture in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat as it cooks; set aside.
3. -In 375 degree oil, fry tortillas for 30-45 seconds per side, keeping as flat as possible and popping any bubbles that may form; drain on brown paper bags.
4. -Spread beans, then meat, then picante sauce/salsa over 4 of the tortillas; set aside.
5. -Spread cheese, then tomatoes, then onions over remaining tortillas; stack one of these tortillas on each of the others.
6. -Place pizzas under a hot broiler just until cheese has melted.
7. **** I usually just brown the burger and add the beans in with it.

2 of us liked these. One did not. I think my problem was I did not "pop" the bubbles,I just pushed them down, so the tortillas were chewy in the middlie and not crispy. I will definately try them again.

This was GREAT! I omitted the beans bc I'm not a big fan, but otherwise made the recipe as is. I only got 2 pizzas out of this recipe, maybe bc I loaded each pizza with meat but it was perfect for me for dinner and lunch tomorrow! So glad I found this one; much easier than the other copycat recipe I saw on Zaar. Thanks!
