Ingredients

12 six inch corn tortillas
canola or vegetable oil
1 lb ground beef
½ medium onion finely chopped
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
¾ cup water
1 can 16 ounces refried beans
¾ cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
¾ cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese
6 grape tomatoes sliced
1 small jalapeno sliced
⅓ cup sliced black olives
1 green onion chopped

Instructions

In a Dutch Oven or heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil to 350-375 degrees. Add one tortilla at a time and fry until crispy (about 1 minute), flipping halfway through the frying process. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown ground beef, breaking it up as it browns. Halfway through the browning process, stir in the chopped onion. Once the ground beef is fully browned, and the onions have softened, add the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Spread refried beans over 6 corn tortillas. Equally, divide the seasoned ground beef over the beans. Top with half of each cheese. Top each with another crispy corn tortilla and place on parchment paper-covered baking sheets. Top each pizza with the remaining cheese, sliced tomatoes, jalapeno, black olives, and green onions.
Bake at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For best results, reheat in a cast-iron skillet in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until warm. Alternatively, reheat in an air fryer at 375 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
