Ingredients for Blackstone Mexican Cheese Pizzas

Here’s what you will need for your Blackstone Mexican Cheese Pizzas:

• 2 large tortillas
• 1 cup Mexican cheese blend
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1-2 jalapeños, sliced
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Blackstone: Start by heating your Blackstone griddle over medium heat.
2. Prepare the Tortillas: Place one tortilla on the griddle to warm it slightly—this makes it easier to fold later.
3. Add the Beans: Spread about half a cup of refried beans evenly on the warmed tortilla.
4. Cheese it Up: Sprinkle half of the Mexican cheese blend on top of the beans. Feel free to pile on the cheese like you’re crafting a masterpiece!
5. Load Up the Toppings: Add a few slices of jalapeños and some salsa over the cheese.
6. Add Another Tortilla: Carefully place the second tortilla on top like a sandwich.
7. Cook Until Golden: Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is crispy and brown.
8. Flip and Finish: Using a spatula, gently flip the pizza and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
9. Serve and Add Freshness: Remove from the heat and top with diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
10. Slice & Enjoy: Cut into wedges and serve immediately!

Top Tips for Perfecting Blackstone Mexican Cheese Pizzas

1. Substitutions: If you don’t have refried beans, black beans or pinto beans are excellent alternatives. Simply mash them up before using. For a vegetarian version, omit any meat toppings but keep the cheese!
2. Timing: Be careful not to burn your tortillas. Cooking on medium heat ensures a nice golden brown without scorching.
3. Avoiding Common Mistakes: Don’t overload your toppings; too much can make flipping difficult. Stick with 2-3 toppings to keep your pizza manageable.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (though they’re hard to resist!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the pizza back on the griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can use an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to maintain that crispy texture!

Now that you’re equipped with this delightful recipe, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and create some delicious Blackstone Mexican Cheese Pizzas! You won’t regret indulging in this flavor-packed meal perfect for gatherings or even a cozy evening at home. Happy cooking!
