Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Mexican Pizza.
Step 1
To start your delicious pizza creation, grab a deep skillet and heat up a tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully fry each tortilla, turning them frequently and adding more oil as needed.
Step 3
You want them to turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Step 4
Once they’re perfectly crispy, let them drain on some paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 5
While your tortillas are cooling, preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 6
This is the perfect time to get everything ready for assembly.
Step 7
On a baking sheet, lay out four of your fried tortillas.
Step 8
On every other tortilla, spread about 3 tablespoons of warmed refried beans, and then top those with 2 to 3 tablespoons of your cooked ground beef.
Step 9
Now, take the remaining four tortillas and layer them on top, creating a delightful stack.
Step 10
In a small bowl, mix together your taco sauce and red enchilada sauce until well combined.
Step 11
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of this tasty mixture over the stacked tortillas, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 12
Now, it’s time to sprinkle on the cheese—about ¼ cup of each type will do the trick, creating a melty, gooey topping that you’ll love.
Step 13
Pop your baking sheet into the preheated oven and let it bake for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 14
Once it’s out of the oven, it’s time to add the finishing touches.
Step 15
Top your cheesy creation with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and any other garnishes that make your heart sing.
Step 16
Finally, cut the pizzas into quarters, serve them up hot, and enjoy every delicious bite with family and friends!.
