Ingredients

  • ground beef
    1 lb
  • chopped onion
    1
  • salt and pepper
    ½ tsp
  • chili powder
    2 tsp
  • each cumin and dried cilantro
    1 tsp
  • cayenne
    ¼ tsp
  • minced garlic
    1 tbsp
  • fajita size flour tortillas
    16 small
  • refried beans
    1 can
  • taco sauce
  • shredded colby jack cheese
    2 c
  • diced tomatoes
  • chopped green onions
  • vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and cayenne. Add minced garlic and stir.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Top with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

About this Recipe

Craving a quick, flavorful dinner that brings the fun of "Taco Tuesday" any night of the week? These Easy Mexican Pizzas are your answer, delivering irresistible taste with minimal fuss.

Why This Recipe Works

What makes these Mexican pizzas stand out is their sheer simplicity paired with robust flavors. Starting with seasoned ground beef and a blend of aromatic spices like chili powder, cumin, and dried cilantro, you build layers of deliciousness. The use of convenient fajita-sized tortillas means quick assembly and a perfect crispy base for all your favorite toppings.

What to Expect

Prepare for a delightful combination of textures and tastes. You'll enjoy the satisfying crunch of a perfectly cooked tortilla, giving way to creamy refried beans and a savory, well-spiced ground beef filling. Melty Colby Jack cheese blankets the top, complemented by a zesty kick from taco sauce and the freshness of diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. This dish is hearty, comforting, and wonderfully customizable, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any casual dinner.

Customization & Variations

While delicious as written, feel free to make these Mexican pizzas your own. For a different cheese experience, consider swapping Colby Jack for Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend. If you love extra heat, you can increase the cayenne or chili powder in the ground beef. You can also experiment with additional fresh toppings like sliced black olives or pickled jalapeños.

Serving & Context

These Easy Mexican Pizzas are perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or as a fun, interactive meal for the family. Serve them hot straight from the oven, perhaps alongside a simple green salad for a complete meal.
