There were leftovers from last night's ground pork burritos. I mixed the remaining refried beans in with the seasoned meat before putting away in the fridge.
Tonight I decided to incorporate the leftovers into a Round 2 meal and make a Mexican pizza. It's a good idea to keep pizza crusts in the pantry. On "those" nights with a few simple ingredients you can have a meal on the table in much less time than ordering delivery.
While the pizza stone preheated with the oven to 400 degrees, I brushed a ready made thin pizza crust with olive oil and then spread the meat/bean mixture over the crust.
Next, spoon your desired amount of salsa over the meat and beans. Not too much or your crust will be soggy.
Top the pizza with 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 8 - 10 minutes. If you're using a thicker crust, cook for a few minutes longer.
Add a few dollops of sour cream and/or chopped cilantro.
