Individual Mexican Pizzas Recipes

MEXICAN MINI-PIZZAS

Steps:

• Cook the chorizo in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll into 4inch circles, using a rolling pin or stretching it into circles by hand. Arrange the circles on 2 baking sheets lightly brushed with oil.
• Top each pizza with tomato slices and crumbled cooked chorizo. Top with shredded cheese and sprinkle with dried oregano.
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and cheese is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut 2 rounds out of each tortilla using a small biscuit cutter or tracing around the edge of a small glass with a paring knife.
• Heat the canola oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot to 375 F using a candy or frying thermometer . Add 5 to 6 tortilla rounds to the hot oil. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. They should be lightly golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with all of the corn tortillas.
• Preheat the oven to 425 F.
• After the tortillas have cooked, combine the refried beans with the garlic powder, salt, and hot sauce.
• Place about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the refried bean mixture onto the top of each fried corn tortilla round. Spread it evenly, almost completely to the edges.
• Top each mini Mexican pizza with a sprinkling of the shredded cheese. Place the completed pizzas on a parchment-paper -lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly browned.
• Drizzle each pizza with the taco sauce. It's helpful to put the taco sauce in a small squirt bottle.
• Add a small amount of sour cream to each Mexican pizza and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and scallions. All 3 garnishes are optional, but they make the pizzas look pretty and add a pop of flavor.
