These delectable copycat Mexican pizzas are double-decker crispy fried corn tortilla pizzas stuffed with taco-seasoned beef, refried beans, cheddar, and Monterey Jack Cheese. They are then topped with more cheese, green onions, black olives, tomatoes, and jalapenos. They have better flavor than Taco Bell Mexican pizza. Mexican pizzas are fun for weekend dinners with extended family and friends yet easy enough for weeknights.

Ingredients

12 - (six inch) corn tortillas
- canola or vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1/2 medium onion finely chopped
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
3/4 cup water
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans

1 small jalapeno sliced

How To Make mexican pizzas

Step 1

In a Dutch Oven or heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil to 350-375 degrees. Add one tortilla at a time and fry until crispy (about 1 minute), flipping halfway through the frying process. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown ground beef, breaking it up as it browns. Halfway through the browning process, stir in the chopped onion. Once the ground beef is fully browned, and the onions have softened, add the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 3

Spread refried beans over 6 corn tortillas. Equally, divide the seasoned ground beef over the beans. Top with half of each cheese. Top each with another crispy corn tortilla and place on parchment paper-covered baking sheets. Top each pizza with the remaining cheese, sliced tomatoes, jalapeno, black olives, and green onions.
Step 4

Bake at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
