I don't eat a lot of fast food, but I think I could go to Taco Bell everyday of my life.
I always order from the same three things on their menu. A Mexican Pizza (no meat, because I was a vegetarian for 5 years, and I've never gone back to eating a Mexican Pizza with meat), a bean burrito, please add tomatoes or a Double Decker (with no meat).
As I was scrolling through Pintersest, I noticed a copy cat recipe for the Mexican Pizza.
I made my shopping list and went to the store as soon as I could! I even bought the bottled Fire Sauce because I was so excited to make my own Mexican Pizza!
It's so close to the real thing that I ate one every day until I ran out of tortillas.
Mexican Pizza: Taco Bell Copycat
Ingredients:
1 package of medium sized flour tortillas
1 can refried beans
1 can can of red enchilada sauce
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded pepper jack cheese
1 tomato, diced
1 small can olives
1 green onion, diced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place 2 tortillas on the foil. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes. Flip tortillas over and bake the other side for about 5 minutes or until they are browning and getting crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
Spoon refried beans into a bowl and microwave until the are heated through.
Spread the beans over one of the tortillas and place the other tortilla on top.
Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla, and cover with pepper jack and cheddar cheese. Add a few tomatoes, onion and olives.
Place tortillas back on the baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted through.
Remove from oven, slice in half both ways, smother with your favorite taco sauce and eat it up!
