Print Recipe

A delicious and easy homemade version of the iconic Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, featuring seasoned ground beef, refried beans, and melted cheese sandwiched between crispy flour tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup refried beans
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for a few minutes until well combined.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the refried beans and salsa until smooth.
  4. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  5. Place one tortilla in the pan. Spread a layer of the bean mixture, then a portion of seasoned beef, and a sprinkle of both cheeses. Top with a second tortilla.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are crispy.
  7. Repeat the process for the second pizza.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions.
  9. Slice into quarters and serve with sour cream.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, ensure the oil is hot before placing the tortilla in the pan.
  • You can use corn tortillas for a more traditional texture, though flour is used in this recipe for a Taco Bell style.
  • Customize the spice level by using hot salsa or adding jalapeños.
