Beef Tortilla
Pizza
- 1 pound 95% lean ground
beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
4 flour tortillas, or 4 English muffins, halved
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, or 1 teaspoon
dried basil
3/4 cup shredded light mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brown ground beef and
onion in skillet over medium heat 8-10 minutes or to 160°F
doneness.
- Pour off drippings and
blot with paper towel. Stir in oregano.
- Lightly brush tortillas
with oil. Bake tortillas on 2 large baking sheets in 400ºF
oven for 3 minutes.
- Spoon beef mixture evenly
over top of each tortilla. Top with an equal amount of tomato.
Sprinkle with basil and cheeses.

12-14 minutes or until tortillas are lightly browned.

Tip: Especially for the
kids - Ask mom or dad to cook an extra pound of lean ground beef
ahead of time. After drippings are poured off, separate the ground
beef into four plastic baggies and keep in the freezer. These
can be taken out of the freezer, reheated in the microwave, and
used in this recipe for a short cut.
