Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 1/4 oz taco seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup refried black beans
  • 3/4 cup enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • vegetable oil for frying shells
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives, optional
  • salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles. Once cooked through, drain excess grease.
  • Add taco seasoning mix and water to the browned beef. Stir well until fully combined and simmer for 3-4 minutes on medium low. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F
  • In another skillet over medium-high heat add a few tablespoons of oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan). Fry the flour tortilla shells until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through. Drain on a paper towel lined plate or cooling rack.
  • Spread about two tablespoons of refried black beans evenly on one side of four shells.
  • Spread an equal amount of the ground beef mixture over the beans.
  • Spread 1-2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the beef layer.
  • Add a layer of shredded cheese.
  • Place the plain tortilla shell on top. Add another layer of enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.
  • Place assembled pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Once ready, remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes and green onions.
  • Cut each pizza into quarters and top with sour cream.
