Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2-4 (adjust as needed)
Ingredients:
Leftover taco mixture (ground turkey, refried beans, taco sauce, and seasoning)
2 burrito-sized flour tortillas
Shredded cheese of your choice (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
Pickled cherry peppers or other toppings of your choice
Olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Taco Mixture (if not already made):
If you don’t have leftover taco mixture, quickly prepare it by cooking ground turkey with taco seasoning, adding refried beans and taco sauce to create a seasoned and flavorful filling.
2. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Assemble the Taco Tortilla Pizzas:
Place two burrito-sized flour tortillas on a baking sheet.
Spread a generous amount of the leftover taco mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the taco mixture. Use as much or as little cheese as you prefer.
4. Add Toppings:
Add pickled cherry peppers or other toppings of your choice. You can also customize each pizza with different toppings to suit everyone’s taste.
5. Brush with Olive Oil:
Lightly brush the outer edges of the tortillas with olive oil. This will help the crust turn golden and crispy.
6. Bake:
Place the baking sheet with the assembled tortilla pizzas in the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve:
Carefully remove the taco tortilla pizzas from the oven.
Slice them into wedges or squares.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and easy taco-inspired tortilla pizzas!
