# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 450 grams ground beef
02 - 30 grams taco seasoning mix
03 - 180 millilitres water
04 - 240 millilitres vegetable oil
05 - 8 flour tortillas (taco size)
06 - 425 grams canned refried beans
07 - 285 grams canned enchilada sauce
08 - 200 grams shredded Mexican cheese blend

→ Suggested Toppings

09 - diced tomatoes
10 - sliced green onions
11 - sliced olives
12 - sour cream

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef while breaking up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink and drain excess fat.
03 - Return cooked beef to skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each tortilla individually for 3–4 minutes, flipping frequently until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
05 - Warm refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl until spreadable.
06 - Spread a generous layer of warm refried beans on each crispy tortilla base, then top evenly with seasoned ground beef.
07 - Place a second fried tortilla atop each prepared base. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce onto the top tortilla, and sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese blend.
08 - Position the assembled pizzas on a large nonstick baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from oven, slice, and finish with desired toppings such as diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, olives, and sour cream. Serve immediately.

# Extra Information:

01 - Crisping the tortillas ensures a sturdy base that maintains texture beneath the toppings.
02 - For best results, assemble just before baking to keep pizzas from becoming soggy.
