Ingredients
- Ground Beef (1/2 lb): Provides the protein base, seasoned with taco spices.
- Taco Seasoning (1 package): Adds the classic Mexican flavor to the beef.
- 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.
- Red Enchilada Sauce (5 ounces): Enriches the pizza with a deep, tangy flavor.
- Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese (1 cup): Melts into a deliciously gooey topping.
- Black Olives, Roma Tomato, Shredded Lettuce, Green Onions, Sour Cream: These are optional for garnishing and adding fresh, crunchy textures.
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.
