My family devours this every time I make it and even my pickiest eater gets excited for home taco pizza night I remember the first time I served this and everyone looked so happily surprised I have not stopped making it since
Ingredients
- Small flour tortillas: give the signature crispy layered base Choose the softest you can find for best results
- Ground beef: brings that hearty filling Classic 80 20 blend has the perfect amount of richness
- Taco seasoning mix: delivers classic Tex Mex flavor Look for one with real spices not just salt and fillers
- Refried beans: act as the glue for the layers Opt for creamy style and warm them before spreading
- Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese: provide that gooey stretchy melt Buy block cheese and shred it fresh
- Diced tomatoes: add bright juicy freshness Be sure to drain off excess juice so the pizza does not get soggy
- Sliced black olives: deliver salty brininess Choose pitted and sliced for extra convenience
- Sliced green onions: give a pop of color and a mild crisp onion bite Pick vibrant green stalks
- Diced green chilies: bring gentle heat Totally optional but I love the extra kick
- Cooking oil: is for frying the tortillas Use a neutral oil like canola
- Mayonnaise: forms the base of the creamy Taco Bell style sauce Go for full fat for richness
- Diced pickled jalapeños: add tang and spice I sometimes use mild for a family friendly version
- Sugar cumin paprika garlic powder cayenne pepper: blend together for that sauce’s signature tangy warmth
- Salt: is the final flavor booster Taste and adjust as you go
