Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 8 Tortilla I used fajita size flour tortillas
  • 1 can Refried Beans Vegetarian ( 14 oz)
  • 1 cup Mexican Cheese Blend
  • ½ cup Enchilada sauce
  • 2 Tomatoes finely chopped
  • 2 Spring onions thinly sliced
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper Optional (deseeded and finely chopped)
  • Oil for spraying the pans

Instructions

TO CRISP THE TORTILLA -

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Heat a griddle/pan on the stovetop. When the pan is hot, drizzle/spray some cooking oil and fry the tortilla, flipping often.
  • Once the tortilla starts to brown, place it on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Flip a couple of times and let it further cook until they are crispy. It took a couple of minutes for me to completely crisp them.
  • You could do this entirely in the oven, but I felt that took longer to crisp. This method of partially cooking it on the stovetop and then finishing in the oven was quicker.
  • Repeat the same with all the tortillas and keep them ready.

ASSEMBLING AND BAKING THE MEXICAN PIZZA -

  • Do not turn off the oven yet. We will be using it to bake the pizzas after assembling.
  • Remove the refried beans from the can and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the beans until it is warm and easily spreadable. I warmed mine for about a minute in the microwave.
  • Chop the tomatoes, spring onions, and jalapenos (if using) and keep it ready.
  • Place a crisp tortilla on the work surface. Spoon about ¼ of the beans in the center and spread it.
  • Cover the beans with another tortilla.
  • Spread about a tablespoon of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla.
  • Top with ¼ cup of cheese.
  • Layer the tomatoes, spring onions, and jalapeno over the cheese.
  • Place it in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
