Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry each tortilla for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
For a Healthier Option:
Place tortillas on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes until crisp.
Step 3: Assemble the Mexican Pizzas
Spread a thin layer of refried beans on one tortilla.
Top with a layer of the seasoned ground beef.
Place a second tortilla on top, creating a “sandwich.”
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the top tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the sauce.
Step 4: Bake
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and any additional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or jalapeños.
Tips for Success
Double the Layers: For an extra-hearty pizza, use three tortillas instead of two, adding layers of beans and beef in between.
Customize the Toppings: Add your favorite ingredients like avocado, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
Prevent Sogginess: Bake or fry tortillas until crispy before assembling to avoid a soggy base.
Why This Recipe Works
The crispy tortilla layers hold up beautifully under the flavorful toppings, while the refried beans and seasoned beef add richness and texture. The melted cheese ties everything together, and the fresh toppings provide a perfect balance of crunch and brightness.
