Flour Tortillas (4): Serve as the crispy base and top layer of the pizza.
Oil (1-2 tablespoons): Used for brushing the tortillas to achieve crispiness.
Refried Beans (15 ounces): A flavorful and creamy layer between the tortillas.
Salsa (1/4 cup): Adds a juicy, spicy element.

Instructions

Prepare the Taco Meat: Cook the ground beef in a skillet, add taco seasoning, and cook until browned.
Crisp the Tortillas: Brush each tortilla with oil and air fry at 370°F for about 2 minutes each side until they are crispy.
Assemble the Pizza: On one tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by the taco meat and a spoonful of salsa. Place another tortilla on top and spread enchilada sauce over it, followed by cheese and optional toppings like olives and tomatoes.
Cook the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza back in the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes at 370°F until the cheese is melted.
Garnish and Serve: Add fresh toppings like lettuce, green onions, and sour cream. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Cheese Selection: Using a mix of cheeses such as Cheddar Jack can enhance the flavor profile of the pizza.
Crispiness: For extra crispiness, consider air frying the tortillas a bit longer before assembling the pizzas.
