Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place two tortillas in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a separate skillet. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces.
  3. To assemble the first pizza layer, place one crisp tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread half of the warmed refried beans evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Top the beans with half of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
  5. Place the second crisp tortilla on top of the beef layer.
  6. Pour half of the enchilada sauce over the top tortilla, spreading it to cover the surface. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven. Top with half of the sliced olives, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
  9. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for the second pizza. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can bake the tortillas alone for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use canned refried beans and warm them slightly before spreading to make assembly easier.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef while cooking.
