Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 large baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Use a large skillet to heat the avocado oil until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
- Fry each of the tortillas until golden brown, about 30 seconds to a minute per side, using tongs to flip them and then place on a paper towel to drain and cool.
- In the same skillet, heat the ground beef and fajita seasoning mix over medium high heat.
- Cook, mix and crumble until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove any excess grease and then stir in 0.5 heaping cup of the chunky salsa and the refried beans.
- Heat over medium heat until the beans are heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- To assemble the pizzas, place 2-3 tortillas on each baking sheet and spread 0.5 heaping cup of the bean and meat mixture onto each one.
- Top each tortilla with a remaining flour tortilla and then spread 2 Tablespoons of the remaining chunky salsa onto the top of each one.
- Sprinkle 0.5 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly on top of each tortilla.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the baked Mexican pizzas from the oven and top with your choice of toppings such as diced roma tomatoes, chopped green onions and sliced olives.
- Cut each pizza into fourths and serve hot.
Notes
Optional Notes: To make this recipe spicier, use a medium or hot salsa in the meat and on top of the pizza. You can also use a "fire" or hot seasoning mix, or add diced jalapeƱos or habaneros to the meat, beans, and as a topping.
