Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas (soft taco or fajita size)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (or 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 cup sliced black olives, drained
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Optional toppings: sour cream, cilantro, avocado, guacamole, sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the 8 tortillas on baking sheets and bake for 5 minutes. Flip and bake another 5 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces until no longer pink.
- Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5–10 minutes until thickened.
- In a small saucepan, heat refried beans with 1–2 tablespoons of milk (optional) to make them creamy.
- To assemble each pizza: Spread refried beans on one tortilla, add about ⅓ of the beef, then top with another tortilla.
- Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla, then add diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar and jack cheese, olives, and green onions.
- Repeat to assemble remaining pizzas.
- Bake the pizzas for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, add any optional toppings, and serve warm.
Notes
- Watch the tortillas carefully in the oven — they can burn quickly.
- Customize with your favorite cheeses or toppings like sour cream or avocado.
- Warming the beans with milk makes them easier to spread and creamier in texture.
- Use pre-shredded or freshly grated cheese for convenience or maximum meltiness.
