Stacked Tortilla Taco Pizzas Recipe

These Stacked Tortilla Mexican Pizzas have a layer of ground beef filling flavored with taco seasoning and a refried bean layer. They are sandwiched between crispy flour tortillas. This is a very kid-friendly recipe and easy to make for a weeknight meal.

Only 6 Ingredients

  • Ground Beef- ground turkey can be used instead.
  • Taco Seasoning- you will need one packet. Homemade taco seasoning can be used if you prefer. You will need about 3 tablespoons.
  • Onion- yellow, white, or sweet.
  • Garlic- half a teaspoon of garlic can be used instead.
  • Refried Beans
  • Shredded Mexican Cheese- cheddar cheese can be used instead.
  • Flour Tortillas- you want the 8-inch size, but you can make do with bigger or smaller tortillas.

The flour tortillas are baked in the oven until crispy before assembling the pizzas to ensure they stay super crispy.

Add Toppings

My favorite thing about these tortilla pizzas, besides the crispy tortillas, is all the toppings. I think that’s what I love about Mexican food so much. It’s so fun to sprinkle stuff on top.

Use whatever toppings you like: fresh chopped cilantro, diced avocado, diced tomato, salsa, chopped red onion. The more the merrier.

I love to pile lots of shredded iceberg lettuce on top. It really helps lighten the meal up and then I feel less guilty. 🙂

Ingredients

Equipment Large Nonstick Skillet, Rimmed Baking Sheet

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. 2

    Place ground beef and onion in a nonstick pan and cook over medium heat, breaking apart with a wooden spoon until no longer pink. Add garlic.

  3. 3

    Measure out 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning and set aside. Add remaining taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to ground beef. Stir well and cook until evenly mixed and thickened. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Spray both sides of tortillas with cooking spray. Place on baking sheets and bake 3 minutes. Flip over and bake another 3 minutes.

    Mix the 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning into the refried beans. Mix in 1/3 cup shredded cheese.

  6. 6

    Divide ground beef mixture on 3 of the tortillas and spread evenly. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of each one and top with a second tortilla. Spread 1/3 of refried bean mixture on top of each tortilla that was just stacked.

    Top with remaining tortillas and sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded cheese on top of each pizza.
