Spicy Beef Mince Tortilla Pizza
A flour tortilla stands in for pizza dough here, crisping up quickly under spiced ground beef, cheese, and fresh toppings. The thin base means the whole pizza cooks in a fraction of the time a traditional crust would need. It is a practical weeknight option when you want bold, satisfying flavors without a long cook time.
