Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • ¾ cup water
  • 8 small (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions (optional)
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ground Beef:

    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
    • Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.

  2. Fry the Tortillas:

    • Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Fry each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
    • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  3. Assemble the Mexican Pizzas:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Spread a layer of refried beans on 4 of the crispy tortillas.
    • Top the beans with the seasoned ground beef.
    • Place another crispy tortilla on top of each, pressing down gently.

  4. Add Sauce and Toppings:

    • Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla of each pizza.
    • Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
    • Add diced tomatoes, green onions, and sliced black olives if desired.

  5. Bake:

    • Arrange the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Serve:

    • Slice each Mexican pizza into quarters using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Air Fryer Option: Instead of frying, you can air fry the tortillas at 375°F for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy.
  • Make It Vegetarian: Use black beans or more refried beans instead of ground beef.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
