Mexican Pizza

Who loves mexican? Me! Er, let me rephrase that. Who doesn't love mexican? No one! I'm always in the mood for mexican because its just so easy to put together. Just throw a bunch of stuff in a tortilla and i'll be a happy camper. When I was younger, I used to always get mexican pizza from Taco Bell. They were soooo good! So, today I decided to make my own "adultified", healthy vegetarian version. I used my recipe for refried beans, whole grain tortillas and plain yogurt instead of sour cream! (but sometimes I do use low fat sour cream). Let the fiesta begin!

Mexican Pizza
2 tortillas
refried beans, recipe here
1 bunch green onions, sliced on the diagonal
diced tomatoes
cheddar cheese
yogurt or sour cream

1 Place tortilla in frying pan without oil, let heat and crisp up.
2 Spread a layer of refried beans over the entire surface of the tortilla and let heat through.
3 Add green onions, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce. I add a lot of green onions for the crunch.
4 Place second tortilla on top and let heat through and flip once cheese is melted.
5 Garnish with more toppings. Avocado would be good as well.

i ADORE mexican food, and i think a mexican pizza leaves the traditional pizza in the dust. such simple ingredients, such simple preparation, such delicious results. :)

i love making this kind of thing because I feel like you almost can't go wrong -- salsa, black beans, mushrooms, whatever. as long as you have warm tortillas and cheese, you're set.

Love Mexican food + can't find decent Mexican in London = very sad eater. I have to make my own, so every recipe like this is a gift. Thank you!

Zoe! Once more you save my day: I have two packs of tortillas downstairs and I was contemplating what to do with them! This looks perfect since I have some frozen refried beans and all! Super!

Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines! I could eat it all day, every day. This is such a good, throw-together recipe. The theme for Meeta's Monthly Mingle this month over at What's For Lunch, Honey is Mexican Fiesta and you should totally consider entering this!
