- Add tortillas one-by-one and cook on each side for approximately 15 seconds, until crispy.
- Place fried tortillas on a drip tray lined with a paper towel.
- See video tutorial in the NOTES section.
DIRECTIONS FOR BUILDING MEXICAN PIZZA

- Take one fried tortilla and spread refried beans on bottom layer.
- Next add seasoned ground meat on top of refried beans layer.
- Add the second layer (fried tortilla) on top of ground beef.
- Next, add Taco Bell sauce to top of fried tortilla (approximately 1/4 cup). Add tomatoes and green onions to your liking.
- Now, sprinkle Oaxaca/Fiesta/Mexican Blend cheese on top. Get generous with it! Because that's your business! *in my Tabitha Brown voice*
- Place pizza(s) on a baking sheet and broil for about 1 to 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Please watch! ,
- Serve and enjoy!
