Ingredients

1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa (recommended: Pace)
1 1/4 pounds ground beef
4 garlic-herb wraps (recommended: Mission), or any large tortilla
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (recommended: Kraft)
1 (16-ounce) can refried black beans (recommended: Rosarita)
1/2 red onion, diced
2 cups lettuce, shredded
1 tomato, diced
Nacho rings, for garnish

Directions

Set up the grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil the grate when ready to start cooking.

In a small bowl, stir to combine the sour cream and salsa; set aside.

Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Set aside to cool.

Lay out 2 wraps or tortillas. Divide the cheese and sprinkle over wraps. Top with remaining wraps; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, cook beans on high setting for 4 to 6 minutes in the microwave, or until done. Place the cheese-filled wraps on the hot oiled grill and cook for 2 minutes; turn over. Divide the black beans and spread on top of the wrap. Top with the reserved cooked beef and diced onions. Close the grill and cook for 2 more minutes.

Remove the pizzas from grill and top with lettuce, tomatoes, and drizzle with the sour cream salsa mixture. Serve hot, garnished with nacho rings.

INDOOR: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Complete above steps through microwaving the beans. In a skillet large enough to fit the wraps, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully fry both sides of wraps for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown, turning with a large spatula. Transfer wraps to a baking sheet. Spread each wrap with the heated black beans and top with reserved ground beef and diced onions. Place in oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish as directed.

Fabulous and cheap!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Okay I slightly modified the recipe a bit for our budget because we are picky and only eat ground sirloin which can get... pricey. I replaced the ground beef with seasoned black beans. It was definitely a thumbs up for my picky husband and will remain on our regular menu. Read more

Sandra Lee???
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Honestly, this is one of the worst recipes I have ever seen! Being a chef, I find it hard to watch this woman! 75% store... bought? why don't you just go buy a pizza? It'll cost less, and I'm sure your family will understand since you don't take the time to truly cook. I work full time and ALWAYS have time to cook beautiful meals for my family. She and Rachel Ray should take that food network pay check and enroll at a culinary institute imediatly! Read more

This is just a soft taco but lay flat
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

In other words, if we just closed the taco (sans so much filling) it would just be a regular taco. Since coming from a... traditional Mexican family, I would say this version of a Mexican Pizza is loudly misunderstood. In my household when you say "We're having mexican pizza", hungry guests await 2 red corn tortillas softened w/oil, lay on the plate topped with beef or chicken and enchilada sauce and shredded cheese and topped with 2 more softened red corn tortillas cut into quarters. In my opinion, SL should just stay away from creating her own version of mexican cuisine.Read more
