Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup sliced black olives
• 0.5 cup diced green onions
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat until they are easily spreadable. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

Step 5

Lightly spray baking sheets with cooking spray. Place 4 tortillas on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 6

Spread an even layer of warmed refried beans onto each tortilla, then a layer of the seasoned ground beef.

Step 7

Place another tortilla on top of each bean-and-beef layer, pressing gently to flatten.

Step 8

Spread 2-3 tablespoons of salsa over the top tortilla of each pizza. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the salsa.

Step 9

Top with sliced black olives, diced green onions, and diced tomatoes as desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into quarters and serve warm.

Step 12

For OAMC (Once A Month Cooking) Freezer Prep: After assembling the pizzas (before baking), wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, remove the wrapping and bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25-30 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
