Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning and water; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, warm refried beans over low heat until spreadable.
- Place two tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread half of the refried beans over each tortilla, then top with half of the seasoned beef.
- Place remaining two tortillas on top to form sandwiches. Spread salsa over the top tortillas, then sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crisp.
- Remove from oven and top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, olives, and green onions. Cut each pizza into 4 wedges and serve.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with black beans or plant-based crumbles.
- Add jalapeño slices for extra heat.
- Leftover pizza can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a toaster oven.
