Ingredients

Seasoned Chicken

Black Beans

Assemble the Mexican Pizzas

  • 2 ½ cups Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 30 mini flour tortillas, street taco size (or 10 count flour tortillas, grande size)
  • cup vegetable oil, divided
  • Topping: tomatoes, black olives, cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Fry the Tortillas

  • Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds from tortillas (should get 3 per tortilla) or use the small street taco size flour tortillas.
  • Over low heat, add ⅓ cup of oil to a fry pan.
  • Fry each mini tortilla until lightly golden brown, pressing out any air pockets that form.
  • Place on a wire rack over a cookie sheet, lined with paper towels, to cool.

Seasoned Chicken

  • Butterfly chicken breasts and cut into thin strips (stir fry size).
  • Cut each strip into ½-inch thick and 2-inches long.
  • In a medium size bowl, add chicken strips and 1 tablespoon of oil. Stir.
  • In another bowl, add Slap Ya Mama, paprika, cumin, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle seasonings over the chicken and mix thoroughly to combine.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium sized saute pan, over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken and sliced onions.
  • Cook until onions are translucent and chicken is cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the diced green chilis to the pan and turn off the heat.

Refried Black Beans

  • In a small pan, heat butter over medium and add black beans.
  • Cook until heated through and with a masher, or the back of a fork, smash the black beans a bit.
  • Add half of the milk and stir.
  • Mash the remaining beans leaving some chunks, for consistency. Add more milk, if needed.

To Assemble Pizzas

  • On the prepared baking sheet, place your first fried tortilla and smear a thin layer of black beans.
  • Next, sprinkle some cheese and a drizzle of green sauce.
  • Layer the second tortilla topped with a scoopful of chicken, followed by another sprinkle of cheese.
  • Top with the third tortilla, a spoonful of green sauce, and more shredded cheese.
  • Repeat the process with remaining ingredients. Add sliced olives, if desired.
  • Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Notes

Tips
  • Fry tortillas lightly, so they're crisp, not overly crunchy.
  • Don’t overload layers to prevent sliding.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.
  • Let pizzas cool slightly before slicing.
