Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and stir well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Divide the cooked seasoned ground beef evenly among the tortillas, spreading it on top of the refried beans.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer on each tortilla.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are crispy.

Remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, black olives, jalapeno slices (if using), and chopped cilantro.
-
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
