Week 10: Recipe #4--Mexican Flatbread Pizza

I got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman last summer.  I searched for it recently and couldn't find it on her site again, so I don't have a link.  It is pretty tasty, has simple ingredients, and kids like it.  It does have quite a few steps which, though not difficult, can take some time.  I usually serve this with spanish rice and fruit.

You'll Need:

• 1 can large biscuits (non-flaky, 8 biscuits per can)
• 1 can refried beans
• 3 Tblsp. salsa or picante sauce
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• pico de gallo
• 2 cups cooked ground beef, seasoned to taste (I usually add taco seasoning)
• shredded iceberg lettuce
• 3 Tblsp. salsa
• 5 Tblsp. sour cream
• cilantro for garnish

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375.  Flour work surface and roll out each biscuit until very flat.  Brush very lightly with olive oil.  Bake for 8 minutes, or until starting to turn golden.  Remove from oven and set aside.
2. Mix refried beans with salsa.  Heat on stovetop.
3. Heat up cooked ground beef.
4. To assemble, spread refried beans over each flatbread.  Top with plenty of beef.  Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top.  Return to oven for 3 minutes, or until melted and bubbly.  Top with plenty of pico de gallo and lettuce.
5. Mix together salsa and sour cream.  Drizzle over the top of each pizza.  Garnish with cilantro.  Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
