Ingredients
Scale
- 8 flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 tbsp enchilada sauce
- 8 ounces refried beans (1/2 can)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican cheese blend)
- 1 tomato (roma or beefsteak, seeds removed and diced)
- 1 small red onion (diced)
- 1/4 cup black olives (sliced)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 green onions (finely diced)
Instructions
- In a large frying pan or skillet on medium heat, add the ground beef and sauté for about 5-8 minutes until fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces.
- Remove any excess grease from the pan, then add the taco seasoning, water, and 4 tablespoons of enchilada sauce. Stir until evenly combined and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread a layer of refried beans on one tortilla, add a layer of seasoned ground beef, and then top with shredded cheese before adding another tortilla.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce on top of the last tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas to assemble all pizzas.
- For the air fryer method, preheat to 400°F, place the pizza inside, and cook for about 5 minutes until crispy.
- For the oven method, preheat to 350°F, bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are crispy.
- For the pan-frying method, heat oil in a skillet, add one pizza at a time, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes until cheese melts and bottom is crispy.
- Top with desired garnishes and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispy tortillas, consider toasting them before assembly. This recipe can be customized to suit vegetarian diets by using plant-based crumbles.
