The Way to a Man’s Heart aka Layered Fajita Pizza

This recipe is very easy, but very yummy. This is my fiance’s favorite meal that I cook and I like to think of it as a turning point in our relationship! Enjoy!


Ingredients:

1lb lean ground beef

1 red bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

½ small white onion

½ lime

1 roma tomato

Shredded cheese

Fresh Cilantro

1 pkg taco seasoning

Taco sauce

Soft tortillas

*tortilla size can vary depending on if you want to make family style or individual servings

(individual serving pictured using soft taco size tortillas)

Sour cream and green onions optional


Cooking:

Start by slicing the peppers and onion julienne style (fajita style) and sauté them slowly in the juice of half of a lime and 2 Tbs fresh cilantro. Dice the tomato and set aside. While the vegetables are softening brown the beef in a skillet. Once browned add the taco seasoning and ¼ cup of water. Stir until well seasoned and absorbed. Next take your tortilla and place in your preferred baking dish. Spread 1 Tbs of taco sauce on the tortilla and add a layer of beef, a layer of sautéed vegetables, diced tomatoes, and a layer of shredded cheese. Add another tortilla on top and repeat these layers. Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese and crisp the tortillas. Drizzle with taco sauce. Top with sour cream and green onions! Enjoy!
