Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

If you know me and my family, you know that my youngest, Rowan, is OBSESSED with Taco Bell.

Anytime we ask him what he wants to eat, he says, “Ta-To Bell.” He is so obsessed, we had a Taco Bell themed party for his 4th birthday. We all love Taco Bell, to be honest.

Also, they’re removing this item from the menu from Taco Bell, so this is a perfect alternative!

This Taco Bell-inspired dish is super easy, delicious, and will be a favorite in your house too.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 cup vegetable oil

• 1 can refried beans
• 1 can red enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Mexican cheese, shredded
• diced tomatoes, for topping
• sliced green onion, for topping

2. Add taco seasoning and water, bring to a boil and simmer until thickened. 
3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tortillas one at a time and cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping frequently, until crispy. Continue with the rest of the tortillas and set aside. 
4. In the meantime, heat up the refried beans. 
5. On each tortilla, slather a generous layer of refried beans and then top with seasoned ground beef. Place another fried tortilla on top.
