Directions

Mexican Pizza
- In a small bowl, combine the seasoning mix, chili powder, paprika, and water. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium-hight heat until drops of water sizzle when splashed on the pan. Crumble the beef into the pan. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until no longer pink. Stir in the reserved seasoning mixture. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until no liquid remains. Remove from the heat. Cover to keep warm.
- Place the tortillas in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until just crisp and starting to brown. If air pockets form during baking, carefully pierce with a fork and press down to deflate.
- Leave the tortillas on the baking sheet. Spread 1 tortilla evenly with the beans, leaving a bare ½-Inch border. Evenly spoon the beef mixture over the beans. Top with the remaining tortilla. Spread evenly with picante sauce, leaving a bare ½-Inch border. Sprinkle on the cheeses in layers, first the jack cheese, then the mozzarella cheese, and last the Cheddar cheese. Top with the tomatoes and onions.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheeses melt. Cut into 4 wedges.
Taco Bell Seasoning Mix
