Ingredients
Scale
-
For the Taco Filling:
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- ¼ cup Onion, chopped
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 16 oz Refried Beans, warm
- ¼ cup Water
For the Crust:
- 1 Refrigerated Puff Pastry Sheet, thawed (can be cold but not frozen)
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 ½ cups Lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Black Olives, sliced
- 1 cup Roma Tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Green Onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the puff pastry package instructions, typically at 400°F.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a greased or parchment-lined sheet pan. Gently press the pastry edges and corners to make a lip around the border (like a pizza crust). Pierce the puff pastry with a fork and par-bake for 8 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onions until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef mixture, stir well, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Take the baked puff pastry out of the oven and let it cool a bit. If the pastry puffed up, gently press the center down to flatten it out.
- Spread the warm refried beans over the pastry, then evenly layer the taco filling, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the taco filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and evenly distribute the chopped lettuce, sliced black olives, diced roma tomatoes, and chopped green onions over the cheese layer.
- Allow it to cool slightly before cutting it into squares or rectangles.
Notes
- For an extra spicy kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the toppings.
- You can make this recipe vegetarian by using a plant-based ground beef alternative.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for the ultimate taco experience.
