Mexican Pizza Recipe





This Recipe is like Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza, but it's Healthy for you!!!  
Gotta try this!.... My Kids love it!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients (serves 2)
  • 1 c. refried beans
  • 3/4 lb. ground beef, browned with a package of taco seasoning
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced finely
  • 2/3 c. shredded cheese 
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/3 c. enchilada sauce
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a skillet or griddle with the non-stick spray and carefully brown the tortillas on each side, flipping frequently so they don’t burn. You want them to get nice and crispy. Carefully remove the tortillas to a plate.
Heat refried beans either over the stovetop or in the microwave.
Place one tortilla onto a cookie sheet and spread 1/2 c. refried beans onto it.
Sprinkle the ground beef over the beans.
Place a second tortilla over the beans and meat.
Spread about 3 T. of enchilada sauce evenly on top of the tortilla.
Sprinkle half of the diced tomatoes on top of the sauce.
Next sprinkle half of the cheese.
Then the green onions!
Repeat the layering steps for the second pizza, then place the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and cook about 8 minutes, just until the cheese is well melted.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a plate, and enjoy!

To keep it vegetarian, you could either just use beans or add veggies like peppers and onions in place of the meat.   This is an awesome recipe, similar to Taco Bell, but so much more healthier!   Real food always wins!
