Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh pizza dough
- 1/3 cup pastry flour (for rolling)
- 15 oz refried black beans
- 8 oz red enchilada sauce
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 2 tsp all-purpose flour
- Taco seasoning mix (or chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, oregano, sea salt, and pepper)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 12 oz shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 4 oz shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 4 oz shredded Monterey jack cheese
- Fresh pico de gallo
- Pickled or fresh jalapeño slices
- Black olives
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread pastry flour over a work surface and roll dough into a rectangular shape.
- Transfer dough to a greased 9×13 baking sheet, folding edges slightly to form a crust.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat with taco seasoning until browned. Drain excess fat.
- In a saucepan, combine refried beans, enchilada sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, chicken stock, flour, and spices. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread the bean sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border.
- Layer the cooked beef on top of the sauce.
- Add shredded Mexican blend cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeño slices, black olives, cheddar, and Monterey jack cheese.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Use pastry flour to prevent sticking and ensure a light crust.
- A pre-made crust can be substituted for fresh dough in a pinch.
- Customize toppings with lettuce, guacamole, or crushed chips after baking.
- Let dough come to room temperature for easier rolling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
