Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • air fryer
  • Oven
  • sheet pan

Ingredients
  

Tortillas

  • 8 pieces flour tortillas or corn tortillas

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 tablespoons enchilada sauce
  • 8 ounces refried beans (½ can)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or Mexican cheese blend)

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons enchilada sauce
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or Mexican cheese blend)

Garnishes (optional)

  • 1 piece tomato (roma or beefsteak, seeds removed and diced)
  • 1 small red onion (diced)
  • ¼ cup black olives
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 pieces green onions (finely diced)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large frying pan or skillet on medium heat add the ground beef. Use a spatula or spoon to break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Sauté for about 5-8 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Remove grease from the pan.
  • Add in the taco seasoning, water and enchilada sauce. Stir until evenly combined. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • To assemble the pizzas, spread a layer of refried beans on one tortilla. Then top with ground beef. Add a layer of cheese and top with another tortilla.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce on top of the tortilla and top with shredded cheese to evenly cover the top.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas to assemble all the pizzas.

Cooking Methods

  • AIR FRYER COOKING METHOD: Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F. Working in batches, carefully place the pizza in the air fryer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy. Repeat with remaining pizzas.
  • OVEN BAKING METHOD: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with tin foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup (optional). Arrange the pizzas on the sheet pan leaving a space between them. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.
  • PAN FRYING METHOD: In a large frying pan with a lid, on medium heat add a splash of oil to coat the pan. Add one pizza at a time and cover with the lid. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese melts and the bottom tortilla is crispy.
  • Transfer the cooked pizzas to a serving plate and top with the optional garnishes – tomatoes, red onion, olives, sour cream, and green onion. Serve and enjoy!
