Mexican Pizza Flatbread with Ground Beef

by Nancy

This Mexican pizza flatbread with seasoned ground beef has a way of not making it out of the kitchen.

Inspiration for this Mexican pizza flatbread comes from both how much I love the taste of Mexican food, and how pretty and delicious some flatbread appetizers were at a restaurant I was recently at.

This restaurant serves a variety of flatbread appetizers topped with unique ingredients that are so good.

And they cut the flatbread appetizers in the same way as this Mexican pizza is cut, into triangles.

Flatbread is actually pretty sturdy for as thin as it is.

And in this recipe, it stands up nicely when topped with the seasoned ground beef.

This pizza also comes with a quick and easy sour cream and salsa sauce drizzled on top from end to end.

About Serving this Pizza as an Appetizer

The flatbread appetizers at this restaurant were served on wood planks that really make the food look gorgeous and appetizing.

This scrumptious Mexican flatbread pizza also looks great when served on a rectangular shaped serving plate which is like a “frame” for showing off how colorful this pizza is.

Using flatbread as a crust lightens up the pizza nicely so it’s perfect as an appetizer.

About Serving this Pizza as a Main Dish

But then again, sometimes appetizers can make a nice light main dish too, and this is one of those recipes.

Served with a salad, this Mexican Pizza is just right for one serving (unless those eating it are really hungry then making 2 of these for one serving would be an even better idea).

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Ground Beef – ground beef, salt, pepper, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, and granulated garlic

Sour Cream and Salsa Sauce – sour cream and salsa

Pizza – ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, tomato, green onion, cilantro avocado, sour cream and salsa sauce and…

…flatbread.

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

For the Ground Beef:

Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat and add the ground beef…

…chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, pepper, oregano, cumin and…

…salt.

Stir the spices to incorporate them in with the ground beef and stir as the meat cooks.

Continue to cook until the meat is thoroughly cooked.

Transfer the meat on to a paper towel lined plate to absorb the grease.

Set aside for a moment.

For the Pizza:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Lay the flatbread on a cookie sheet.

Top the bread with shredded cheddar cheese.

Sprinkle granulated garlic on top of the cheese.

Top with ground beef,

and chopped tomato.

Bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread start to brown (about 8 to 10 minutes).

For the Sour Cream and Salsa Sauce – Mix the sour cream and salsa together.

Set aside until the pizza comes out of the oven.

Just after removing the pizza from the oven, drizzle the sour cream sauce on top of the pizza.

Top with chopped green onion, cilantro,

and…

…avocado.

Sprinkle pepper on top of the ingredients.

Cut into small triangles…

…and serve warm.
