Healthier Taco Bell Inspired Mexican Pizza
This healthier Mexican pizza was inspired by Taco Bell’s
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tortillas– I use these since I’m gluten free and they are amazing!
- Either Vegetarian “Beef” or regular ground beef (see note)
- Refried Beans
- Tomatoes, diced
- Cilantro, roughly chopped
- Jalapeno, chopped
- Sour Cream
- Mexican Cheese
Instructions
- If you are going to make your own vegetarian “beef” the recipe is here. If you are not vegetarian regular beef works too.
- When the beef/”beef” is finished, go ahead and dice the tomato, chop the cilantro and jalapeño.
- Start to assemble the pizza- on a plate place the bottom tortilla.
- Spread desired amount of refried beans on bottom tortilla. Keep a 1/4 inch space for the edge.
- Spread the beef/”beef” on top of that.
- Sprinkle some cheese on top.
- Place the top tortilla on top.
- Spread some sour cream on top of the top tortilla.
- Sprinkle some cheese on top of the sour cream.
- Place desired amount of diced tomatoes on top of the cheese.
- Top it all off with the chopped jalapeño.
- In a skillet heated to medium-high place the fully assembled pizza inside and cover.
- Cook until the bottom of the tortilla has browned and the cheese on top has fully melted, about 3-5 minutes for me, but times may vary.
- When finished cooking, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top and enjoy!
Notes
Since I’m a vegetarian I don’t eat beef so I decided to make my own seasoned ground “beef” recipe using tofu! The recipe can be found here, or you can use regular beef if you eat it.
