- Making Mexican Pizza is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps to create your own masterpiece:
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Crust: If using a tortilla, place it on a baking sheet. If using a pizza crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking.
- Spread the Beans: Evenly spread the refried beans over the crust or tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add Salsa: Spoon the salsa on top of the beans, spreading it evenly to ensure full coverage.
- Layer the Meat: If you’re using ground beef or chicken, sprinkle it evenly over the salsa.
- Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, ensuring it covers the entire pizza.
- Scatter the black olives, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and green onions across the cheese layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh avocado slices and cilantro.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
