Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced jalapeno pepper
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-hot temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Apply a non-stick coating to two round baking dishes using cooking spray.
3
To prepare the filling, heat a skillet over an intermediate heat setting.
4
Combine ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic in the skillet and cook until the meat is uniformly browned and crumbly, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Drain the excess fat from the skillet and season the beef with a blend of spices, including chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
6
Place a single tortilla in each of the prepared baking dishes, followed by a layer of refried beans.
7
Spread half of the seasoned ground beef over each tortilla, then cover with a second tortilla.
8
Bake the filled tortillas in the preheated oven until they are crispy, taking approximately 10 minutes.
9
Remove the pizzas from the oven and set them aside to cool slightly.
10
Apply a layer of salsa over half of each top tortilla, followed by a covering of 1/2 cup of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
11
Add half of the sliced tomatoes, half of the chopped green onions, and half of the jalapeño slices on top of each pizza.
12
Return the pizzas to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, taking around 5 to 10 more minutes.
13
Allow the pizzas to cool slightly before slicing each one into four equal pieces.
