Equipment

  • 2 baking pans

Ingredients
  

Mexican Pizza Special Sauce

Mexican Pizza Toppings

  • dairy-free sour cream
  • black sliced olives
  • diced tomatoes
  • chopped green onion

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring often, breaking up into smaller pieces until fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • While meat is cooking, mix the special sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • Add all the spices, beef bone broth and 1/4 cup of the sauce to the meat and heat up for a couple of more minutes.
  • Place tortilla shells on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush with remaining avocado oil. Put in the oven and crisp up. I usually put under the broiler for about a minute,(watch closely so they do not burn).
  • Take out of the oven and evenly spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans and then the 1/4 cup of meat mixture on bottom layer tortilla.
  • Next, add second tortilla on top.  Spread a couple of tablespoons of the special sauce followed by cheese on top of the tortilla.  Repeat these steps with remaining tortillas to make 4 pizzas. Put back under the broiler for another minute.  If not using broiler, this will take 7-8 minutes in the oven. (see recipe notes)
  • Take out of the oven and add your favorite toppings and extra sauce.
  • Slice with a pizza cutter and enjoy!

Notes

My oven is a little different than most, I don't have that top heating element.  So therefore, I like to put my tortilla shells under the broiler, (in my broiler drawer) to crisp up properly and quicker.  Keep in mind, if you just put it in the oven, the cooking time will take a little longer than the broiler method.  but do watch closely, it doesn't take long and will burn.  When using dairy free cheese, I always put under the broiler to be able to melt the cheese.
