Ingredients
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
- 1 can (16 ounces) Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Sliced black olives
- 1 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once heated, lightly fry each tortilla until crispy and golden, about 1 minute per side. Set them aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 3
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Step 4
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated. Set aside.
Step 5
Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Then, evenly divide the cooked ground beef among the tortillas, spreading it over the beans.
Step 6
Top each tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
Step 7
Place the assembled tortillas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and top each pizza with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions.
Step 9
Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top of each pizza. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
