Tyler’s Mexican Pizzas

My oldest son, Tyler has decided to start making some of the meals and has graciously offered to allow me to blog his meals as well.  Tonight he begins his journey with Mexican Pizzas and boy, they are DELICIOUS!!!!

     Tyler’s Mexican Pizzas

Fry onion & beef together in a skillet, drain.  Add refried beans and taco seasoning and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.  In a skillet, fry your tortilla shells in oil on med-hi heat, flipping to cook evenly on both sides until golden in color (about 30 seconds each side). Tyler used Avocado oil for frying pouring enough in to put about 1/4 inch in skillet.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lay 6 fried tortillas out on a cookie sheet (we were working with a small cookie sheet, so only two fit at a time) then spread 1/6 of meat mixture onto them.  Top meat mixture with another fried tortilla and top that with about a spoonful of the taco sauce and a handful of cheddar cheese.

Bake in oven until cheese is melted, approximately 3-5 min.  We topped ours with lettuce, tomato, black olives and Greek yogurt.

Homemade Whole Wheat Pizza

This week we are visiting my sister and dear friend Angela. I will be posting recipes from both me and her this week.

Tonight is Angela’s Homemade Whole Wheat Pizza. Who needs take out for playing games and watching movies you can have this???

Homemade Whole Wheat Pizza

  • Dough (use this recipe just roll dough out on cookie sheets or pizza stones and par bake)
  • Pasta sauce (I use Muir Glen Organic Sauce if I don’t make my own)
  • Shredded cheese (I use raw cheddar, Angela omits the cheese most of the time)
  • Toppings of choice (we used pepperoni, sausage, pineapple, ham, mushrooms, celery and onions)

Once the crusts are par baked (you can do this at 350º until no longer doughy on top) remove from oven and top with sauce, toppings and cheese and return to oven and bake at 400º Until cheese is starting to turn  lightly golden.
