🌶️ Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
• 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
• 1 cup enchilada sauce or taco sauce
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese

🔥 How to Make It

1. Preheat oven:
   • Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the beef:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
   • Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened.
3. Prepare the tortillas:
   • Lightly spray or brush tortillas with oil and bake for 4–5 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
4. Assemble the pizzas:
   • Spread refried beans over one tortilla, top with seasoned beef, and then place another tortilla on top.
   • Spoon enchilada or taco sauce over the top layer, sprinkle generously with cheese, and add desired toppings (like tomatoes, olives, and onions).
5. Bake:
   • Return to the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve:
   • Slice into quarters and top with sour cream, salsa, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Swap the beef for shredded chicken or black beans for a meatless version.
• Add a spicy kick with jalapeños or hot sauce.
• Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a lighter take.
• Make them mini! Use small street taco tortillas for bite-sized party versions.
