Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
8 soft taco flour tortillas
1 (15 oz) can refried beans
2/3 cup red enchilada sauce
2 small tomatoes diced
1 (8 oz) block colby jack cheese
3 green onions sliced

Optional Toppings

sliced olives
green chiles
minced cilantro

Instructions

In a large skillet set over medium heat, brown the beef and season.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil. Fry the flour tortillas until golden brown, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
Place four tortillas on a lined baking sheet. Spread the tops with a layer of refried beans, then add the taco meat. Place the remaining tortillas on top, then spread with enchilada sauce and top with tomatoes, cheese, and green onions (add olives and green chilies, if desired).
Place in the oven and broil until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown. Remove and garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

STORE the components separately for the best results. Keep toppings like tomatoes, green onions, and olives in airtight containers in the fridge. Fried tortillas can stay at room temperature in a sealed bag.

REHEAT the meat and beans in the microwave before assembling. Fully assembled Mexican Pizzas don’t hold up well once stored, so it’s best to make them fresh when you’re ready to eat.
