Preparation

Cooking the Base
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat and mix in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Frying the Tortillas
- In another skillet, heat vegetable oil on medium-high. Fry each tortilla for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
Heating the Beans
- Microwave the can of refried beans for 1-2 minutes to make it smooth and spreadable.
Assembling the Pizza
- Spread a layer of refried beans on a fried tortilla. Top with seasoned beef, add another tortilla, drizzle with enchilada sauce, and sprinkle with cheese.
Baking the Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake assembled pizzas for 8-10 minutes until cheese has melted and is bubbling.
Adding Toppings
- Let the pizzas cool for a moment, then add fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, green onions, and sliced olives.
Serving
- Slice the pizzas into quarters and serve hot with sour cream on the side.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Customize toppings and ingredients to your preference.
