Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 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

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a deep skillet over high heat. Pan fry the tortillas one by one, flipping them over often, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more oil if needed. Place the tortillas on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. 3

    Place 4 pan-fried tortillas on a baking sheet. Slather 3 tablespoons of refried beans evenly over each tortilla. Top with ground beef and half of the mozzarella. Close it up with another piece of tortilla.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, combine the taco sauce and enchilada sauce. Spread 2 tablespoons of sauce evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Mexican cheese blend on top.

  5. 5

    Bake the pizzas for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheeses have melted. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Top the pizzas with diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions. Add more toppings, if desired. Slice the pizzas into quarters. Serve and enjoy!
