Hello my friend !
I'd love to share with you a family favorite-
Yes, it's a copy cat recipe from Taco Bell....
but so much better and
so easy and great for a busy weeknight dinner.
Here's the ingredient list then we can walk it through-
You'll need:
1 lb lean Ground Beef
1 Pkg. Flour Tortillas
(We love Trader Joes Habenaro Tortillas )
1 Can Refried Beans
1 jar or can Red Enchiladas sauce
1 Packet Taco seasoning
or
Make your own Taco Seasoning-
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 1/2 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Cumin
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
Mix together dry ingredients.
Save in a jar and use as needed.
You will use this seasoning when you brown the ground beef.
I also add a chopped onion if I have one on hand.
Season to your family's taste
I add a Tbsp or so and also add alittle water.
Brown the meat, season and set aside.
To assemble your pizza:
Start with
2 flour tortillas per pizza
We love these Trader Joe's Habenero Tortillas!
I lightly sprayed both tortillas with avocado oil spray,
cook in a skillet on the stove top so
they would be crisp.
On a cookie sheet, place one crisp tortilla.
Spread a layer of Refried Beans, then top with
a layer of cooked and seasoned meat.
Top with another crispy tortilla.
Cover the top tortilla with enchilada sauce.
Add toppings over sauce.
Toppings can include
grated cheese, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes,
and even sliced black olives.
It's fun to let everyone add there own toppings.
Bake at 350' about 10 min.
or until cheese has melted.
Your pizza will be crispy and delicious.
This looks fabulous. When I saw the title of this post, my mind went immediately to Taco Bell. This was a favorite of mine there for a long time. I'd love to try it at home. Thanks for the recipe! So glad you shared this with us at the Will Blog for Comments #93 linkup! Looking forward to seeing what you'll share at #94. I hope you're having a great week.
