Directions

Taco Bell Copycat Ground Beef Taco Meat

Brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it into fine crumbles.

In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, salt, dried onion, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, and Accent (if using).

Once the beef is cooked, drain the excess grease and stir in the seasoning mix.

Add water and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until thickened and ground beef has become a fine texture.

Taco Bell Copycat Mexican Pizza Sauce

In a small mixing bowl, mix the pizza sauce, Ortega taco sauce, red enchilada sauce, and diced green chiles.

Whisk until thoroughly combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fried Flour Tortillas

Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Poke holes in each tortilla so the don't puff up too much during frying.

Fry each tortilla until crispy and golden brown on each side.

Drain on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet.

Mexican Pizza Assembly

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Spread a layer of refried beans on one crispy tortilla.

Top with seasoned beef and place a second tortilla on top.

Spread the pizza sauce over the top tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Place the pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Top the pizzas with diced tomatoes and sliced olives if using, slice into quarters, and serve.
