Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas










** Recipe from Cheerful Madhouse **

* 1 lb. ground beef
* 3 Tbl. taco seasoning 
* 1/4 c. water
* vegetable oil, for frying
* 12 flour tortillas
* 16 oz. can refried beans
* 3/4 c. salsa
* 1 large tomato, diced
* 1 1/2 c. taco cheese
* 1/2 c. green onion, diced

Heat oven to 400. Brown ground beef in skillet over medium-high until no longer pink, drain. Add taco seasoning and water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3-5 min.  Heat vegetable oil in large pot over med-high until it sizzles when a droplet of water is added. Fry tortillas, one at a time, for 30 sec. on each side, then drain on a paper-towel lined plate, keeping them as flat as possible.
On baking sheets, spread 6 tortillas with 2-3 Tbl. of beans, then top with 1/4 c. beef. Cover each with another tortilla. Spread each top with 2 Tbl. of salsa and 2 tablespoons of diced tomato. Sprinkle with taco cheese and green onion. Bake for 6-8 min. and serve with taco sauce and sour cream.
