Ingredients

• 8 pieces Small flour tortillas
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 cup Cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Use a round cookie cutter to cut each tortilla into smaller circles, about 3 inches in diameter. You should get 2-3 mini circles per tortilla.

Step 3

Lightly spray both sides of the cut tortilla circles with cooking spray, and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the tortilla circles in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until they are slightly crisp but not browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 5

In a small pan, heat the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and follow package instructions to season the meat. Set aside.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tortilla circle. Top with a spoonful of the seasoned meat, followed by a small amount of salsa.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend generously over each mini pizza.

Step 8

Return the tortilla circles to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 10

Garnish each pizza with a dollop of sour cream, a few diced tomatoes, slices of black olives, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Pizza Appetizers!
