Instructions 🥄

Step 1: Prepare the Ground Beef

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Toast the Tortillas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly brush tortillas with oil on both sides and bake directly on the oven rack for 5-7 minutes until crisp, flipping halfway. Alternatively, toast them in a skillet.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizzas

  1. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on one tortilla. Top with a scoop of seasoned ground beef and spread evenly.
  2. Place a second tortilla on top to create a sandwich.
  3. Spread enchilada or taco sauce over the top tortilla and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.

Step 4: Bake the Pizzas

  1. Place the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Add Toppings

  1. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and cilantro.
  2. Slice into quarters or wedges and serve warm with sour cream or guacamole on the side.
