Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked ground beef or chicken (optional)
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
• 1 small Diced avocado
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce or salsa
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 3

While the tortillas bake, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

Once the tortillas are crisp, spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the beans on each tortilla.

Step 6

If using, add a layer of cooked ground beef or chicken on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Place the topped tortillas back into the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the tostada pizzas from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and diced avocado.

Step 10

Drizzle with sour cream (you can thin it with a bit of water for easier drizzling) and a touch of hot sauce or salsa.

Step 11

Season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Slice into quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy your Tostada Pizza!
