Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup salsa
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup sliced black olives
• 0.5 cup diced red onion
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 1 piece avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toast each tortilla individually on both sides until golden and crisp. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, cook the ground beef or ground turkey over medium heat until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked meat. Stir until evenly coated and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each toasted tortilla. Next, spread an even layer of salsa on top of the beans.

Step 6

Divide the cooked taco meat evenly among the tortillas, spreading it over the salsa layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend generously over the meat layer.

Step 8

Place the prepared tortillas on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Top each pizza with diced tomatoes, black olives, red onions, jalapeños (if using), diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Drizzle sour cream over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.

Step 12

Slice each pizza into quarters and serve warm. Enjoy!
