YUMMY! I make a version of this, but not not with the second layer! I'm definitely making it your way tonight for dinner! I love Mexican pizza, because it can turn into a simple and easy meal-for-one!
Ingredients :
- Whole Wheat Tortillas – 8 tortillas
- Canola Oil – very small amount to glaze both sides of the tortilla
- Old El Paso Refried Beans
- Water – 1/4 cup
- Onion – 1 small
- Paprika – 1 tsp
- Black Pepper – 1/4 tsp
- Ortega Taco Seasoning – 1 tsp
- Scallions – 1 bunch
- Jalapeno – 1/2 a jalapeno
- Tomato – 1
- Whole Foods 365 Organic Salsa – enough to spread over the pizza
- Mexican Cheese Blend – enough to cover the pizza
- Sour Cream Reduced Fat – 1 dollop
- Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
- Line a tray with foil.
- Place 2 tortillas on a flat surface and lightly glaze/brush both sides of the tortilla with Canola Oil.
- Place both tortillas on the foil tray.
- Once the oven preheats, place the tortillas in the oven for 10 minutes – 5 minutes on each side so they crisp up.
- You can add multiple tortillas if you have room.
- In the meantime, make the beans. Empty the contents of the refried beans into a small pot.
- Add a 1/4 cup of water.
- Place the pot over a stove on low-heat.
- In the meantime, chop an onion. Add the onion to the beans.
- Add the seasonings – paprika, black pepper, and taco seasoning. I don’t think you will need salt.
- Mix. Wait a couple minutes and once heated thru, turn off the stove.
- In the meantime, chop the veggies.
- Check on the tortillas. DON’T TURN OFF THE STOVE.
- See how they are crispy once baked.
- Spread a couple dollops of beans over the tortilla.
- Top off with very little salsa.
- Spread.
- Place the second piece of tortilla on top. Now top with salsa.
- Spread salsa again – very little.
- Top with scallions and tomatoes.
- Add just about 1/2 to 1 tsp of deseeded jalapeno – see how much you can handle.
- Top with cheese, make sure you get the sides.
- Using a flat ladle place the Mexican Tortilla Pizza on the foiled tray.
- See, I made 2. Into the oven for 12 minutes – I like my cheese slightly browned.
- Cut into 4 pieces and don’t share with anyone!
- Top off with a dollop of Sour Cream (reduced fat) and some Hot Taco Bell Sauce, just cause it's awesome!
