As Halloween is approaching, we are doing a Creepy Creations thing.
We like something like the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza a lot, especially on the weekends. It also seems perfect for an easy Halloween treat or even for a party.
I use oversized flour tortillas to make the pizza and do it with ground beef, beans and cheese on the inside. That bakes up and lettuce is added. You can get the big tortillas usually at Mexican grocery stores. Don’t worry if you can’t find them- just use smaller ingredient amounts on the smaller tortillas and they will work just as well. The little ones will even make great personal party pizzas.
The top shell I bake separately to keep it very crispy then cover it with enchilada sauce and sour cream at the last minute. My husband loves it- says there is nowhere to order such a thing out and he’s right you know. The best foods are made at home.
