Speedy Weeknight Dinners: Easy Mexican Pizzas
Easy Mexican Pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp each cumin and dried cilantro
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 TBSP minced garlic
- 16 Small Fajita size flour tortillas
- 1 can refried beans
- Taco Sauce
- 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese
- Diced tomatoes
- Chopped green onions
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add a chopped onion. Once beef is fully cooked drain any extra grease.
Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and cayenne. Add minced garlic and stir.
While the beef is cooking lightly fry flour tortillas in a separate skillet over medium-heat. Add just enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Fry tortillas on both sides until golden brown (this usually only takes 1-2 minutes on each side). Once tortillas are fried place them on paper towels to absorb any extra grease.
Heat up refried beans to make them easier to work with. Spread refried beans on top of flour tortillas. Add a scoop of ground beef. Add a little bit of shredded cheese and add another fried tortilla. Spoon some taco sauce on top of the tortilla and top with more shredded cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Top with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
