Description
A crispy, cheesy Tex-Mex favorite made with stacked flour tortillas, seasoned ground beef, refried beans, enchilada sauce, melted cheddar and mozzarella, plus fresh tomatoes and green onions on top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 small flour tortillas, about 6 inches each
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- Olive oil cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat both sides of the tortillas with olive oil cooking spray, arrange them on the baking sheet, and bake for 4 to 5 minutes per side until lightly golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
- Stir the taco seasoning and water into the beef. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until evenly coated and fragrant.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans over four tortillas. Top each with a quarter of the seasoned beef, then sprinkle a little of the cheddar and mozzarella over the meat.
- Place a second tortilla on top of each stack. Spread the tops with enchilada sauce, then finish with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
- Return the assembled pizzas to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are deeply golden.
- Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions. Let rest for 1 to 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Crisp the tortillas well before assembling so the finished pizzas hold their shape.
- Do not overload the center with too much filling or sauce, or the layers may soften.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or toaster oven for the best crisp texture.
