Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 package Taco Seasoning (1 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1- 4-ounce can green chilies, optional
  • 8 medium flour tortillas (8-9-inches in diameter)
  • 1 16-ounce can of refried beans
  • 1 10-ounce can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Mozarella cheese
  • 1-2 Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 2-3 green onions, chopped
  • 1-2 small cans of sliced olives
  • Garnish with salsa, cilantro, Jalapeño peppers, and sour cream.
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to (375°F ) = (190°C) Grab a frying pan and brown the ground beef with chopped onions. Drain the grease. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and water over the meat mixture. Bring it to a boil and then turn down the heat and simmer the mixture for about ten minutes. Add the green chilies, if desired. Heat a griddle and lightly brown the flour tortillas on each side. Place two on a greased cookie sheet. I used two half-sheet cookie sheets to make the four Mexican pizzas. Warm up the refried beans in a microwave bowl to make the refried beans easier to spread onto the tortillas.

    Layer One: Spread 1/4 of the refried beans onto each of the four bottom tortillas.

    Layer Two: Scoop 1/4 of the meat and onion mixture onto the layer of the refried beans. Sometimes I'll put some of the sliced olives on this layer too.

    Layer Three: Place the "top" tortilla onto the meat mixture. Spread 1/4 of the red enchilada sauce onto each of the "top" tortillas.

    Layer Four: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over all four "top" tortillas. Sprinkle some chopped tomatoes, green onions, and black sliced olives on top. Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is sizzling. Serve when they cool enough to handle. Garnish with salsa, cilantro, Jalapeño peppers, and sour cream. Enjoy.
