Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 1 cup refried beans
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 1.5 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa or enchilada sauce
• 0 to taste optional toppings (e.g., jalapeños, guacamole)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 2

Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate small pot, heat the refried beans over low heat until warmed through. Set aside.

Step 4

Chop the green onions, dice the tomatoes, and set aside your toppings for assembly.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Working in batches, crisp each tortilla on both sides until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Assemble the pizzas by placing one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of refried beans evenly across the tortilla, then sprinkle a portion of the cooked taco beef over the beans.

Step 8

Top with another crispy tortilla, then spread a spoonful of salsa or enchilada sauce over the top tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the sauce.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the other tortillas to assemble more pizzas.

Step 10

Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with diced tomatoes, green onions, sliced black olives, and any additional toppings you like. Drizzle with sour cream or serve it on the side for dipping.

Step 13

Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Mexican Pizza!
