1 packet taco seasoning
03 -
2/3 cup water
→ Assembly
04 -
8 small flour tortillas or corn tortillas
05 -
1 can refried beans
06 -
1/4 cup water
07 -
1 cup red enchilada sauce or mild taco sauce
08 -
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
09 -
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
10 -
1/4 cup sliced green onions
11 -
Vegetable oil for frying
# Steps:
01 -
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart. Add taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Stir and simmer until the mixture thickens and the beef is fully cooked.
02 -
In a saucepan, gently heat refried beans. Stir in 1/4 cup water to adjust consistency, ensuring beans are smooth and spreadable.
03 -
Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry each tortilla until crisp and golden on both sides, then drain on paper towels. Alternatively, bake on a rack at 400°F until crunchy.
04 -
Arrange one crisp tortilla on a baking sheet. Evenly spread a layer of warm refried beans over the surface.
05 -
Distribute a portion of seasoned ground beef over the layer of beans.
06 -
Place a second crisp tortilla over the beef layer and gently press to stabilize.
07 -
Spread a generous layer of enchilada or taco sauce over the top tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded Mexican blend cheese.
08 -
Garnish the top with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions.
09 -
Transfer assembled pizzas to a preheated oven at 400°F and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and toppings are heated through.
10 -
Remove from oven, let stand for 2 minutes, then cut into wedges. Serve while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Allowing tortillas to cool slightly before assembling helps them stay crisp under the toppings.
