      Title: Taco Bell Mexican Pizza
 Categories: Copycat, Mexican, Pizza
      Yield: 4 Pizzas
 
    1/2 lb Ground beef
      2 tb All-purpose flour
  1 1/2 ts Chili powder
           - (Spanish blend is best)
    3/4 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Dried minced onion
    1/4 ts Paprika
      1 ds Garlic powder
      1 ds Onion powder
      2 tb Water
      8 sm Flour tortillas (6")
      1 c  Shortening or cooking oil
     16 oz Can refried beans
    2/3 c  Mild Picante salsa
    1/2 c  Cheddar cheese; shredded
    1/2 c  Monterey Jack cheese;
           - shredded
    1/3 c  Tomato; diced
    1/4 c  Green onions; chopped
 
  Hope you're hungry, 'cause this recipe makes 4 of the Mexican Pizzas
  like those served at the Bell. Prepare to blow your diners away with
  this one if they're at all familiar with the real thing.
  
  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili
  powder, salt, dried onion, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  Use your hands to thoroughly incorporate everything into the ground
  beef.
  
  Preheat a skillet over medium heat, and add the ground beef mixture
  to the pan along with the water. Brown the beef mixture for 5 to 6
  minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat as it
  cooks.
  
  Heat oil or shortening in a frying pan over medium high heat. If oil
  begins to smoke, it is too hot. When oil is hot, fry each tortilla
  for about 30 to 45 seconds per side and set aside on paper towels.
  When frying each tortilla, be sure to pop any bubbles that form so
  that tortilla lays flat in oil. Tortillas should become golden brown.
  
  Heat up refried beans in a small pan over the stove or in the
  microwave. Preheat oven to 400?F.
  
  When meat and tortillas are done, stack each pizza by first spreading
  about 1/3 cup refried beans on the face of one tortilla. Next spread
  1/4 to 1/3 cup of meat, then another tortilla. Coat your pizzas with
  2 tb salsa on each, then combine the cheeses and sprinkle the blend
  evenly over the top of each pizza. Split up the diced tomato and
  arrange evenly over the cheese on each pizza, followed by the green
  onion.
  
  Place pizzas in your hot oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese on
  top is melted. Cut each pizza into 4 slices and serve.
