Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup thinly sliced jalapeno pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 2 pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Place ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Season beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Lay one tortilla in each pie plate, and cover with a layer of refried beans. Spread 1/2 of the seasoned ground beef over each one, and then cover with a second tortilla. Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove pizzas from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Then spread 1/2 of the salsa over each top tortilla. Cover each pizza with 1/2 of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Place 1/2 of the tomatoes, 1/2 of the green onions, and 1/2 of the jalapeño slices onto each one.

Step 5

Return pizzas to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Let pizzas cool slightly before slicing each one into 4 pieces.
