Cooking Steps
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add your ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned, and drain any excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, simmering for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined and fragrant.
- In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat, adding a bit of water to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Stir constantly for about 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- For crispy tortillas, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown or brush tortillas lightly with oil and bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
- On a baking sheet, place one crispy tortilla as the base. Spread a layer of warm refried beans on top, followed by a scoop of seasoned ground beef. Finish with another crispy tortilla on top.
- Spread taco sauce over the top tortilla, allowing it to flow slightly over the edges. Sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese atop the sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the Mexican Pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, let it cool for a minute and slice into quarters. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes
Customize with toppings like fresh diced tomatoes, avocados, or sour cream. Ensure tortillas are crisp to avoid sogginess.
