Instructions
Creating your very own Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas can be as easy as following these steps:
1. Prepare Your Cooking Surface: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Add the taco seasoning and mix well, letting it simmer for a few minutes.
3. Fry the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Fry the flour tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they become lightly golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4. Layer the Base: On one tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by the seasoned ground meat.
5. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle plenty of shredded cheddar cheese over the top. You can also add diced tomatoes and sliced black olives at this point.
6. Prepare the Second Tortilla: Place another tortilla on top of your layered ingredients, creating a stack.
7. Bake the Pizza: Transfer the layered tortillas to a baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the Mexican Pizza into quarters, and serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side for an extra kick.
