Ingredients

  • 8 flour tortillas soft taco or fajita size
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning or a 1 ounce packet.
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 15 ounces Refried beans about 2 cups
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk optional
  • 15 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • Freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • Freshly grated jack cheese
  • 2 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cups sliced black olives drained
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • Other optional toppings: Sour cream, cilantro, avocado, guacamole, sliced jalapenos

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the 8 flour tortillas onto baking sheets and bake for 5 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, flip each tortilla over and bake 5 minutes more until crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside. *Watch closely - they will burn quickly.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up into very small pieces with a spatula, until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning and water and bring to a simmer, then simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, heat refried beans with 1-2 tablespoons of milk (optional, but helps to make the beans nice and creamy).
  • Prepare the Mexican pizzas on the foil lined baking sheets. Set out one tortilla and spread a thin layer of the beans evenly on top. Add about ⅓ of the meat mixture, spreading evenly, then top with a second tortilla. Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce on top, then add diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced olives and green onions. Repeat for the remaining 3 pizzas.
  • Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

Feel free to customize the toppings or the types of cheese.
