How to Make Mexican Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly brush both sides of your flour tortillas with oil and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. In a skillet, brown the ground beef for about 6-8 minutes, drain excess fat, add taco seasoning and water, and simmer until absorbed.
  4. Heat refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
  5. Spread a layer of refried beans, seasoned beef, enchilada sauce, and shredded cheese on four crispy tortillas.
  6. Top with remaining tortillas, spread more enchilada sauce, and add an extra layer of cheese.
  7. Bake for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool for a minute, slice into wedges, and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, black olives, and sour cream.
