Makes 4 tortilla pizzas

Ingredients

4 flour tortillas
1/2 cup tomatillo salsa, plus more for serving
1/2 pound Pepper Jack cheese, shredded, divided
1/3 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup canned yellow corn (use fresh in the summer)
8 ounces ground beef, cooked with a tablespoon of taco seasoning and cooled
1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Method

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange tortillas on a pizza stone or a large baking sheet. Evenly spread salsa over tortillas and sprinkle with half the cheese.

2. Combine beans, corn, beef and cilantro and evenly spread on top of tortillas.  Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

3. Place the tortilla pizzas in the oven and bake until the cheese bubbles and the tortillas are crisp, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cilantro.  Cut into quarters and serve.

Enjoy!
