Mexican Pizza

Erin: Another pinterest recipe! I found a recipe for Mexican Pizza, based on the one from Taco Bell. (I loooove Taco Bell but I never get to eat it). This recipe was really really good but really really time consuming. I could only cook two at a time and I was cooking for 3 so we had to eat in shifts. Hmm.. maybe I need a bigger kitchen.. or maybe just a bigger oven ;)


Ingredients:
8 tortillas (I used corn because that is all I had, but you can use flour as well)

Canola Oil – very small amount to glaze both sides of the tortilla
1 can Refried Beans – 1 (1 pound) can
1/4 cup water
1 onion diced
1 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Taco Seasoning
Salsa
Mexican Cheese Blend

And you can add whatever toppings you want, here are some ideas:
Scallions
Jalapeno
Tomato

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Line a baking sheet with foil
3. Lighly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil, place them on the tray and heat them in the oven to make them crispy for 10 minutes (5 on each side)
4. Meanwhile, empty the contents of beans into a pot and add 1/4 cup water. Cook over low heat
5. Add onion and seasonings (pepper, paprika, taco seasoning) to the beans. Heat through
6. Once the tortillas are done, spread a couple of dollops of beans of them and top with salsa. Spread evenly
7. Place the 2nd tortilla on top and spread evenly with salsa. Top with veggies of your choosing and then top with cheese
8. Return to the oven and cook for 12 minutes :)
