Steps:

• Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. When the oil is hot place 1 tortilla into the hot oil. Cook for about 30 to 60 seconds until the shell crisps.
• When the tortilla is crispy, remove it from the oil and drain it on a wire rack.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Spread two tablespoons of refried beans onto six of the fried tortillas.
• Sprinkle two tablespoons of seasoned and cooked ground beef over the refried beans.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese on top of the ground beef.
• Add a fried tortilla to the top of the ground beef and cheese layer.
• Sprinkle two tablespoons of cheese on top of the tortilla. Microwave for about 30 seconds, just until the cheese melts.
• Add diced tomatoes and green onions to the top of the cheese on each of the pizzas.

BETTER-THAN-TACO BELL MEXICAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a deep skillet over high heat. Pan-fry each tortilla turning frequently, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Allow to drain on paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• To assemble each pizza, place 4 fried tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons of refried beans evenly on top of every other tortilla, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons ground beef. Place the other 4 tortillas on top.
• Mix together the taco sauce and enchilada sauce in a small bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture on top of the tortillas and spread evenly. Sprinkle ¼ cup of each type of cheese evenly on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and any additional garnishes. Cut into quarters, and serve immediately.
