Mexican Pizza Casserole
A copycat of a favorite at a major fast-food chain, except in casserole form.
Ingredients
- 12 white corn tortillas
- 31 oz can refried beans
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1-2 cans enchilada sauce *to taste
- 8 oz cheese (of choice!) *shredded
- 1 tomato *diced
- 1 onion *diced
- 1 bundle green onion *chopped
- Oil *for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Work on cooking your ground beef in a skillet until no longer pink.
- While the ground beef is browning, add your vegetable or canola oil to a frying pan and fry your tortillas a couple minutes until crispy. Set your crispy tortillas off to the side.
- Once the ground beef is cooked, drain the grease. Add a few tablespoons of water to your beef and your taco seasoning packet and stir together until well combined.
- Now it's time to assemble the casserole.
- First, add a bottom layer of half your fried tortillas. Feel free to break them up so they fit your casserole dish better.
- Spread a layer of refried beans over the fried tortillas.
- Layer your taco seasoned cooked ground beef over the refried beans.
- Pour about half of the enchilada sauce over the beef.
- Add the other half of the fried tortillas on top of the ground beef and enchilada sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the fried tortillas.
- Add diced onions and tomatoes.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350.
- Top with chopped green onion.
- Slice into individual squares, serve, and enjoy! Top individual plates with additional toppings like sour cream, jalapenos, etc.
