Taco Bell Copycat: The Ultimate Tex-Mex Quesadilla

Image Credit: Parker Feierbach

This Taco Bell copycat isn’t actually Mexican, nor is it a pizza. It’s more of a Tex-Mex quesadilla, and we LOVE it for a lightning-fast dinner! If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying meal, this dish is perfect for you.

The Perfect Tortilla

While flour tortillas straight from the bag can’t be beat, if you want to stay true to the Taco Bell recipe, consider shallow frying them in vegetable oil. This adds a delightful crispiness that elevates the entire dish.

Elevate Your Meal

Want to bulk this out into more of a sit-down affair (rather than something you’d eat in your car in a Taco Bell parking lot)? Pair your Mexican pizza with some Mexican rice, a refreshing corn salad, and some chips with guacamole or pico de gallo for a heartier meal. This combination not only enhances the flavors but also makes for a more enjoyable dining experience.

Ingredients

1/2 lb. ground beef
2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 medium Flour tortillas
1 1/2 c. refried beans
1 1/2 c. shredded Mexican-blend cheese
Sour cream, for serving
1/2 c. quartered cherry tomatoes
1/4 c. sliced black olives, for serving
2 green onions, thinly sliced, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving (such as Cholula)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat. Return to heat and add taco seasoning, then season with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute more, then remove from heat.
Assemble pizzas: Place 3 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and spread 1/4 cup refried beans on each of them. Divide beef evenly between the tortillas, then top with 1/4 cup cheese each. Top with remaining 3 tortillas. Spread another 1/4 cup of refried beans on each tortilla, then top each with 1/4 cup cheese.
Bake until cheese is melty and beans are warm, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with sour cream, tomatoes, olives, and green onions. Serve with hot sauce.
