Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- 1 green onion, diced
- 1 small can sliced black olives
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray. Place 3 tortillas on each sheet.
-
Crisp Tortillas:
- Bake the tortillas for 3-5 minutes, flip them, and bake for another 2-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Set aside.
-
Cook Beef Mixture:
- In a skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain the grease. Add taco seasoning and water to the beef, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes and set aside.
-
Warm Refried Beans:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the refried beans. Spread a thin layer of beans on one tortilla.
-
Assemble Pizzas:
- Top the bean layer with ⅓ of the meat mixture, then place another tortilla on top. Spread 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce on the top tortilla. Sprinkle with cheddar and pepper-jack cheese. Add diced tomato, green onion, and sliced black olives.
-
Repeat Assembly:
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas to create three pizzas in total.
-
Bake:
- Bake the pizzas for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra spice, use hot pepper-jack cheese or add jalapeños.
- Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter protein source.
