Okay, this isn’t an authentic Mexican recipe, but it is a popular item in many Mexican restaurants. You can fry (or bake) your own tortillas, or you can buy the crispy tostada shells that are flat and not folded.
Optional garnishes – chopped tomatoes, black olives, and/or green onions
Cilantro or Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet, and then add the Taco Seasoning and water and simmer until the water is gone. Remove from the heat.
Preheat another skillet and add 2-3 Tbsp oil to the bottom of the pan
When the oil is hot, place a tortilla in the pan to fry them crisp. They will puff up, but that’s okay. I like to flip them a couple of times to watch them close, you want them to brown but not burn. Repeat until all of your tortillas are crisp. Place them on a sheet pan with paper towels underneath them.
Put the refried beans into a bowl and microwave for a couple minutes until heated through.
Using a basting brush, paint all of the tortillas generously with the enchilada sauce.
Build the pizza’s by putting a 1/4 of the warm refried beans on 4 painted tortillas, followed by a 1/4 of the the seasoned ground beef and a sprinkle of the cheese. Place another painted tortilla on top of the beef and press down evenly. Sprinkle generously with cheese.
Place the pizzas on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for 10 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Garnish the pizzas with a dollop of sour cream, your choice(s) of olives, tomatoes and green onions, and sprinkle with cilantro or parsley.
