- 1 cup cooked seasoned ground beef or chicken
- ½ cup refried beans
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- ¼ cup chopped tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup chopped black olives
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- sour cream to garnish

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place two tortillas on the baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tortillas. Leave a small border around the edges.
- Next, spread a layer of cooked ground beef or chicken on top of the refried beans.
- Spoon salsa over the meat layer in one even layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the cheese, creating a sandwich-like structure.
- Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the tortillas are crispy.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes.
- Slice each pizza into quarters.
- Top with chopped tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and cilantro if desired.

Notes
- We suggest using whole wheat or corn tortillas. These can be store-bought or homemade.
- Feel free to use another ground meat. Omit meat for a vegetarian option.
- Bake the pizzas until the cheesy is melted. The top tortilla should be turning lightly golden brown.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
