Ingredients Method Notes

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.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Taco Meat: Cook the ground beef in a skillet, add taco seasoning, and cook until browned.
  2. Crisp the Tortillas: Brush each tortilla with oil and air fry at 370°F for about 2 minutes each side until they are crispy.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
