Ingredients:

• For the pizza:

• 4 large flour tortillas

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 packet of taco seasoning

• 1 can (16 oz) refried beans

• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions:

• Prepare the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
• Heat the refried beans: In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat until warm and spreadable.

• Bake the pizzas: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Add fresh toppings: Remove the pizzas from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, black olives (if using), and cilantro. Drizzle with salsa and add a dollop of sour cream.
