How to make Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza in the Air Fryer
Once you have your taco meat cooked, this only takes a couple of minutes to put together. It’s great if you’ve got a busy family – they can all make their own when it works for them!
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and add taco seasoning. Prepare according to package instructions. Or you can use leftover taco meat!
- Spray tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. Place a butter knife on top of tortillas while air frying to prevent them from flying around and burning. Air fry each tortilla individually at 370ºF for 2 minutes. Flip and cook 2 min. more.
- Use potholder to remove knife, it will be Hot! You can probably do 2 at a time depending on size of your air fryer basket. Some overlap is ok.
- In a small bowl, mix together salsa and taco sauce and set aside (you can also use enchilada sauce if you’d rather)
- Once all tortillas are prepped, begin assembling pizzas. If your air fryer tray is not flat – go ahead and remove it and just place the pizza on the bottom of the air fryer basket.
- Place one tortilla on a cutting board. Spread 1/3 cup refried beans on tortilla then transfer to air fryer basket. Top beans with 1/2 cup ground beef mixture. Place second tortilla on top. Spread 1/4 cup salsa mixture generously on top of tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
- Air fry at 370ºF for 3 minutes. Use a spatula to remove and transfer to plate or cutting board. Slice into 4 portions. Top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, green onions and sour cream.
