These mini pizzas combine the flavors of tacos with the fun and variety of pizza. A favorite for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 12 (4-inch) corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice or margarine)
- 1 can (16 ounces) low-sodium, fat-free refried beans
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 2 ounces fresh or canned green chili peppers, diced
- 3 tablespoons red taco sauce
- 3 cups vegetables, chopped (try broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, and red bell pepper, or use your favorite veggies)
- 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- cilantro (1/2 cup chopped, fresh, optional)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Brush one side of two tortillas with water. Press the wet sides of the tortillas together to form a thick crust for the pizza.
- Brush the outside of the tortillas with a small amount of oil or margarine. Evenly brown both sides in a heated frying pan. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Set aside.
- Heat refried beans, onion, and half of the chili peppers together in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Spread about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture on each tortilla pizza. Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon taco sauce, then top with 1/2 cup of the chopped vegetables, 1 teaspoon chili peppers, and 1 tablespoon cheese for each pizza.
- Return to frying pan and heat until cheese melts. Top with cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.
