Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 pound about 450g of lean ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar and mozzarella mix
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
- Add the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, and beef broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the tortillas on baking sheets.
- Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture evenly over each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the beef mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, and the tortilla is crisp.
- Carefully remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing and serving.
