Taco Bell Mexican Pizza Ingredients

You’ll need:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 (1-ounce) package of taco seasoning
- 8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 (16-ounce) can of refried beans
- 1 (10-ounce) can of red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups finely shredded mild cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced Roma tomatoes
- Sour cream (optional garnish)
- Sliced black olives (optional garnish)
- Thin sliced green onions (optional garnish)
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
TORTILLAS: You can substitute 4 burrito-size flour tortillas for the 8 smaller soft taco-size tortilla shells.
CORN TORTILLAS: You can substitute corn tortillas for the flour. You will need to fry the corn tortillas for a longer amount of time.
BEANS: You can substitute black beans for the refried beans.
ENCHILADA SAUCE: You can use green enchilada sauce instead of red enchilada sauce.
TOPPINGS: Add any of your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or jalapeños on top of your pizza.
How to Make This Taco Bell Mexican Pizza Recipe
STEP ONE: Using a 3 to 4-quart saucepan, sauté the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Ground beef can be batch cooked ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer to save time when preparing your recipe.
STEP TWO: Add the water and taco seasoning. Stir to combine and continue to cook over medium heat for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set it aside.

STEP THREE: Line a standard baking sheet with paper towels and set it aside.
STEP FOUR: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Set them aside.
STEP FIVE: Using a 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil.
STEP SIX: Carefully add the flour tortillas one at a time, cooking for 1½ to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to burn the tortillas. Carefully transfer the cooked tortillas to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat the process until all tortillas are cooked.

STEP SEVEN: Place 1 of the cooked tortillas on the prepared baking sheet.
STEP EIGHT: Spread ¼ cup of refried beans over 1 tortilla.
PRO TIP:
Warm up the refried beans in the microwave to make them easier to spread on the tortillas.

STEP NINE: Evenly sprinkle ¼ cup of the seasoned cooked ground beef over the refried beans.
STEP TEN: Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheddar cheese over the seasoned ground beef.

STEP ELEVEN: Lay a second tortilla on top of the first layer. Spread 2 tablespoons of the red enchilada sauce.

STEP TWELVE: Evenly sprinkle 2 teaspoons of diced tomato on top of the enchilada sauce.
STEP THIRTEEN: Evenly sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tomato layer.

STEP FOURTEEN: Once you have made the double-decker pizzas, bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your pizza at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

STEP FIFTEEN: Remove from the oven and slice as you would a pizza. Since the pizzas are smaller, slice the pizzas into 4 pieces. Top with sour cream, sliced black olives, and thin sliced green onion, if you wish. Serve while hot.
