How To Make copycat taco bell mexican pizza

  • tortillas with olive oil
    1
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil.
  • toasted tortillas
    2
    Place the tortillas on baking sheets, two per sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crispy. Set aside. (You will likely need to do this in two batches to bake all 8 tortillas.)
  • taco beef
    3
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain the excess fat and add the taco seasoning. Stir well.
  • refried beans
    4
    In a separate pot, heat the refried beans.
  • refried beans on the tortillas
    5
    Spread some refried beans evenly over 4 of the crispy tortillas on the baking sheets.
  • tortillas stacked
    6
    Spread some seasoned taco meat evenly over the beans. Top with another crispy tortilla.
  • sprinkle with cheese
    7
    Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each pizza.
  • baked cheese
    8
    Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the pizzas from the oven.
  • 9
    Sprinkle diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and green onions over top.
  • 10
    Drizzle the taco sauce over top. Cut the pizzas into 4 pieces each like you would a pie. Top each piece with a dollop of guacamole, sour cream, and/or salsa, if you like.
