Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 cup mild red enchilada sauce
Instructions
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the cooked ground beef. Stir well and let simmer for 3-5 minutes, then set aside.
Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm.
In a large skillet, add vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. One at a time, fry the flour tortillas until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For assembly, take one fried tortilla and spread a layer of refried beans on top, followed by a layer of the seasoned beef. Place a second tortilla on top to create the base of the 'pizza.'
Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla. Sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly across the top.
Place the assembled pizzas on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, and chopped green onions.
Cut each Mexican pizza into quarters and serve hot.
