Mexican Pizza

I have not found a way to make the tortillas extra crispy like taco bell, but they are still really good.

MEXICAN PIZZA
*This is filling but for a big family definitely double the recipe and use 2 pie pans.

• 2 flour tortillas
• 1 can refried beans <- recipe doesn't really take a whole can so you can use the remainder as an appetizer with some chips while the meal cooks
• 1/2 bag (or 1/2 lb ground meat) meatless crumbles
• Taco seasoning of your choice or make your own with cumin, onion powder and garlic powder
• 1/2 can enchilada sauce, green or red... your call
• Mexican cheese
• sliced black olives (optional)
• fresh diced tomato (optional)
• chopped green onion (optional)

1. Grease a round pie pan.
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. Cook your meat, or crumbles, with taco seasoning as you normally would for tacos.
4. Layer your pie pan with 1 tortilla on bottom, a layer of refried beans, taco "meat", and top with the other tortilla.
5. Cook in oven for 10-15 mins.  The top tortilla should appear firm when finished. 
6. Let cool slightly then pour enchilada sauce over top, covering the tortilla... it doesn't take much.
7. Layer with cheese and add a few black olives and chopped green onion.
8. Bake in over for another 15 minutes.

Top with salsa, sour cream, or avocado.

Fast Mini Pizzas

This is my go-to dinner or lunch when I forgot to plan.  We all love them, and when Miss Kenzie is old enough to bite through these she will love them too.

Any topping works!

FAST MINI PIZZAS

• 1 tube Pillsbury biscuits - the serving yield is whatever the amount biscuits there are, so you might need more than 1 tube.
• 1 jar of pizza sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Topping of your choosing

1. preheat oven to 400 (unless your biscuits call for a lower temp... if it calls for higher leave at 400).
2. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with non-cooking spray.
3. Open your tube of biscuits and smash each one down with your palm. Set on prepared baking sheet.
4. Spoon a little sauce on each biscuit and spread to edges.
5. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese - or any cheese you like.
6. Add your favorite topping.  Mine is sliced black olives, Dan's is sliced banana peppers.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 mins.  Sea level friends, please check them at 10 and 15 mins to be sure they don't burn.  The cheese should be melted and the edges should be golden.

If you have leftovers they actually reheat pretty well in the microwave but the crust isn't as firm.  I bet you will never have any leftovers.
