Mexican Pizza

Remember the Mexican pizza from Taco Bell? I know they just recently got rid of it, but being a long time "Swanker", it's been a long time since I've had it. I did make a copycat recipe years ago, but now since it's off the menu, my husband was saying he missed it so it reminded me to make it again.

This time I doctored up the canned refried beans. I was inspired by the beans in another recipe. They were just TOO GOOD! (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13954/addictive-sweet-potato-burritos/)

This recipe is good enough to serve at a Superbowl party and also quick and easy enough for a weeknight.

I use store bought taco seasoning to make things easy. Feel free to make your own if you'd like though.
