Mexican Pizzas

MEXICAN PIZZAS

3-4 Large tortillas - I used wheat because that's what I had but the other would be fine)
1 cup lean ground turkey,cooked
1/2 cup salsa
2tsp Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup refried beans
1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice(cheddar,mexican,etc..)
Toppings: Lettuce,Onion,Tomato,Sour Cream, Olives,

Preheat oven to 425, Spray a 12 count muffin tin with cooking spray.

Lay the tortillas out flat and use a cup,cookie cutter,etc.. to cut 12 circles.

Press each circle in the muffin tins using your fingers,it's ok if the circle doesn't fill the whole cup.

In a small bowl mix the meat,salsa,beans, and taco seasoning.

Put 1/8 of a cup of mixture in each tortilla circle.

Top with Cheese

Bake for 12-18 minutes.

Serve with toppings of your choice.
