Ingredients

→ Base ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

8 8-inch flour tortillas

→ Toppings and fillings

1 cup refried beans, warmed

1 cup cooked, Mexican-seasoned ground beef

1/2 cup taco sauce

1/4 cup red enchilada sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

3 tablespoons black olives

3 tablespoons chopped green onions

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and once hot, fry the tortillas one at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the fried tortilla and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Layout 4 fried tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread with an even layer of refried beans. Add a layer of cooked ground beef, and half of the mozzarella cheese.

Place the remaining fried tortilla on top of each one.

Combine the taco sauce and enchilada sauce in a small bowl and mix well. Spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce over each of the tortillas.

Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the Mexican cheese blend. Bake at 400°F for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Top the Mexican pizzas with diced tomatoes, black olives, and chopped green onions. Slice into quarters and serve hot.
