Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef

- 1 can 10 oz red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- 1 green onion diced
- 1 small can sliced black olives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray and place three tortillas on each.
- Crisp the tortillas: Bake them for 3-5 minutes, then flip and bake for another 2-5 minutes until they’re golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the meat: Stir in taco seasoning and water, bringing it to a boil. Reduce to medium-low heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Warm the beans: Heat the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl to make them easy to spread.
- Assemble your pizzas:
- Spread a thin layer of refried beans on one tortilla.
- Add 1⁄3 of the seasoned beef mixture on top.
- Place another tortilla over it.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla, then sprinkle with cheddar and pepper-jack cheese.
- Top with diced tomato, green onion, and black olives.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas to create three pizzas.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice & Serve! Let cool slightly before cutting, and enjoy this delicious homemade Mexican pizza!
