This Mexican Pizza is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and tastes absolutely delicious. I love how you can customize each pizza with your favorite toppings, and the best part is that ground beef and tortillas are affordable staples I always have on hand. The combination of seasoned beef, creamy refried beans, and melted cheese is just irresistible. Plus, I always pile on fresh avocado slices because they add such a wonderful creaminess and are packed with heart healthy fats. It's the kind of simple, satisfying meal that feels fancy enough for company but easy enough for a busy Tuesday night.
