Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (or pre-made mini pizza crusts)
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup mild taco sauce or salsa
- 8 slices thick-cut Mozzarella cheese (or Monterey Jack)
- 1 small can sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces and the meat is well-coated. Remove from heat.
- Place the flour tortillas on two large baking sheets. Spread about 2 tablespoons of taco sauce or salsa evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Distribute the seasoned taco meat evenly across the four tortillas, pressing it down slightly so it stays in place.
- Take your slices of mozzarella cheese and use a small paring knife or a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out ghost silhouettes. If you are doing this by hand, simple wavy shapes with a rounded top work perfectly. Place two or three cheese ghosts on top of the meat on each pizza. Take small pieces of sliced black olives and place them on the ghosts to create eyes and “boo” mouths.
- Slide the baking sheets into the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. You want the tortillas to be crisp and the cheese ghosts to be just slightly melted but still holding their shape. Remove from the oven carefully. Let them cool for one minute, then top with fresh lettuce or tomatoes if desired. Serve immediately while the “ghosts” are warm and gooey!
