Add Toppings

My favorite thing about these tortilla pizzas, besides the crispy tortillas, is all the toppings. I think that’s what I love about Mexican food so much. It’s so fun to sprinkle stuff on top.

Use whatever toppings you like: fresh chopped cilantro, diced avocado, diced tomato, salsa, chopped red onion. The more the merrier.

I love to pile lots of shredded iceberg lettuce on top. It really helps lighten the meal up and then I feel less guilty.  🙂

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (1-oz) packet taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Place ground beef and onion in a nonstick pan and cook over medium heat, breaking apart with a wooden spoon until no longer pink. Add garlic.
