• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

• ¼ cup chopped tomatoes

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Tortillas: Place two tortillas on the baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

3. Add Meat: Spread a layer of cooked ground beef or chicken on top of the refried beans.

4. Add Salsa: Spoon salsa over the meat layer in an even layer.

5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

6. Top with Tortillas: Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the cheese, creating a sandwich-like structure.

7. Bake: Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.

8. Cool and Slice: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each pizza into quarters.

9. Add Toppings: Top with chopped tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and cilantro if desired.

10. Serve: Serve hot Mexican pizzas with sour cream and guacamole!

Notes

• We suggest using whole wheat or corn tortillas, either store-bought or homemade.

• Feel free to use another ground meat or omit the meat for a vegetarian option.

• Bake the pizzas until the cheese is melted and the top tortilla is lightly golden brown.

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
