How To Make copycat taco bell mexican pizza

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil.

Step 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.)
Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain the excess fat and add the taco seasoning. Stir well.
Step 4

In a separate pot, heat the refried beans.
Step 5

Spread some refried beans evenly over 4 of the crispy tortillas on the baking sheets.
Step 6

Spread some seasoned taco meat evenly over the beans. Top with another crispy tortilla.
Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each pizza.
Step 8

Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the pizzas from the oven.
Step 9

Sprinkle diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and green onions over top.
Step 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.
