I have so many recipes to share with you all, but I thought I'd share this one first since I've had quite a few people ask me about it.
Yes!!! A Taco Bell Copycat recipe of one of my favorites - Mexican Pizza! OK, so it's not as convenient as going through the drive-thru of Taco Bell, but it's far healthier & it really doesn't take that much time at all to make one for yourself at home. Especially if you just happen to have the meat already in the refrigerator from the night before. Yep, this was a total leftover meal on top of it all! *High five!*
Disclaimer: I generally don't follow actual recipes (& if I do I always change them), so just use approximations & adjust accordingly.
*21 Day Fix container counts will follow below the recipe*
Ingredients:
• whole wheat tortillas
• lean ground beef, seasoned with Smokey Southwest seasoning blend
• nonfat refried beans
• shredded cheddar cheese
• diced tomatoes
• Mexican hot sauce
• green onion, diced
• Plain Greek yogurt (Chobani, preferably)
• Pico de Gallo or diced green peppers & white or red onion, diced (if desired)
Directions:
• Place the tortillas on a cookie sheet & place in a preheated 375º oven until slightly golden on both sides, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• On one tortilla, lightly drizzle hot sauce, then top with refried beans & seasoned lean ground beef.
• On the other tortilla, top with shredded cheddar cheese & diced tomatoes.
• Return tortillas to the oven, until the cheese is melted.
• To assemble, place cheese & tomato topped tortilla onto the other, pressing down slightly before cutting into 4 pieces.
• Top with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt & Pico de Gallo if desired.
*21 Day Fix container count: 2.5 yellow (.5 for the nonfat refried beans), 1 red, 1 blue, .5 green (.5 purple if using Pico de Gallo).
