Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Prepare the tortillas: Toast the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, or bake them in the oven for a few minutes to make them crispy.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tortilla. Add the seasoned ground beef mixture on top.
- Add sauce and cheese: Pour a small amount of red enchilada sauce over the beef and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Place the pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Slice and serve hot, topped with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa, if desired.
Notes
- Variations: Add sautéed veggies like bell peppers or onions for more crunch and flavor. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Customize: Add toppings like diced tomatoes, olives, avocado, or fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
