JIMMY'S MEXICAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 2 pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place beef, onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is evenly browned. Drain off grease. Season the meat with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Lay one tortilla in each pie plate, and cover with a layer of refried beans. Spread half of the seasoned ground beef over each one, and then cover with a second tortilla. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
• Remove the plates from the oven, and let cool slightly. Spread half of the salsa over each top tortilla. Cover each pizza with half of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Place half of the tomatoes, half of the green onions, and half of the jalapeno slices onto each one.
• Return the pizzas to the oven, and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly before slicing each one into 4 pieces.

Steps:

• Heat the refried beans.
• In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Stir in the seasoning packet.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a small amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Let the oil heat, then place one corn tortilla in the skillet. After 15 seconds, flip the tortilla over and let it fry another 15 seconds. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, letting them drain on paper towels once they have been heated. When the tortillas have drained, arrange them on a cookie sheet.
• Spread a thin layer of beans on the tortillas, followed by a layer of beef, and cheese.
• Bake the tortillas in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Slice the tortillas into wedges and arrange them on plates or a serving platter and garnish them with the sour cream, tomatoes, green onions, chiles, avocado, and olives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Lightly brush pizza crust with olive oil.
• If beans are stiff, stir to soften. Sometimes I mix the can of diced green chilies into the bean mixture and then spread it on the crust. You can sprinkle the chilies over the beans once they are on the crust if you prefer.
• Sprinkle the chicken over the beans.
• Next sprinkle the green onion, olives and tomatoes over the top.
• Top with the cheese. Drizzle Taco sauce over top of pizza if desired -- and sprinkle with a little chopped cilantro.
• Bake at 425 for about 10 to 12 minutes (until it is hot clear through, the cheese is melted and the crust is to your liking).
• Note: I have used the prepacked roasted chicken strips you find in the meat or lunchmeat secion at the grocery store. They comes with Southwestern sprices already on them. Otherwise, after I chop the chicken, I sprinkle a bit of taco sauce or tabasco sauce on it before adding it to the top of the pizza.
• We've also topped the baked pizza with some sour cream and guacamole.
