Layered Tex-Mex Tortilla Pizza
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat 2 pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the beef is evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard the grease. Season the beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place one tortilla in each pie plate and spread a layer of refried beans on top. Distribute 1/2 of the seasoned ground beef over each, then top with a second tortilla. Bake in the preheated oven until the tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Take the pizzas out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread 1/2 of the salsa over the top tortilla of each pizza. Top each pizza with 1/2 of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Arrange 1/2 of the tomatoes, 1/2 of the green onions, and 1/2 of the jalapeño slices on each.

  5. 5

    Return the pizzas to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Let the pizzas cool slightly, then slice each one into 4 pieces.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
