Recipe Information
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
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
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.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat until they are easily spreadable. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
Lightly spray baking sheets with cooking spray. Place 4 tortillas on the prepared baking sheets.
Spread an even layer of warmed refried beans onto each tortilla, then a layer of the seasoned ground beef.
Place another tortilla on top of each bean-and-beef layer, pressing gently to flatten.
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.
Top with sliced black olives, diced green onions, and diced tomatoes as desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into quarters and serve warm.
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.
