Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
¾ cup water
1 can (15 oz) refried beans
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
¼ cup diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
8 flour tortillas (taco size)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200°C).
Cook Ground Beef:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked through, add the taco seasoning and water. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Prepare Tortillas:
In another skillet or griddle, heat half of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 4-5 minutes, flipping frequently, until they are crisp and lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil as needed.
Assemble the Pizzas:
On a baking sheet, place 4 of the crisped tortillas. Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans evenly over each tortilla. Top with the cooked taco meat.
Place another tortilla over the meat layer. Spread about 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce evenly over each tortilla. Divide the diced tomatoes evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese in an even layer over each pizza.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the pizzas are heated through.
Serve:
Remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven. Slice each pizza into quarters and serve hot. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
