Mini Mexican Pizzas

 

 

Wonderfully easy and full of flavor.  Great for T.V. Gatherings.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Ingredients:

3-4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup lean ground beef, cooked
1/2 cup refried beans
1/2 cup salsa 
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded cheese, I used half monterey jack/half cheddar
1 small can sliced black olives 
(Optional for toppings: shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes)

Preparation:
 
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Using a 3-4" round cookie cutter, the top of a drinking glass, or the top of an empty metal can, cut twelve circles out of the tortillas.

Spray a 12-count muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press each tortilla circle into a muffin tin using your fingers.

Mix together cooked ground beef, refried beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin and salt together in a bowl. Scoop 2 tablespoons of filling on top of each tortilla round in the muffin pan. Sprinkle cheese over each mini pizza. Place olives on top of cheese.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are crispy. Remove from oven. Using a table knife loosen the edges of each pizza from the pan and scoop them out with a fork. Serve immediately with desired toppings.
 
Note: easily multiplied for larger gatherings.
