Instructions

**”Pizza” Sauce:**
- Mix enchilada sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, and jalapeño juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
**Assembly and Cooking:**
- Spread refried beans on one tortilla, then add taco meat and shredded cheese.
- On another tortilla, spread the enchilada sauce, then add shredded cheese and diced tomatoes.
- Heat a pan over medium-low heat, spray with oil, and toast both tortillas until crispy.
- Stack the tortillas on top of each other (beans and beef on the bottom).
- Repeat the process to make 3 to 4 pizzas.
- Add sour cream, cilantro, and green onions on top, then cut into four pieces. Enjoy!
Notes
- For an easier cooking method, toast the tortillas until crispy before adding fillings and toppings. Then, bake in the oven at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Add a bit of cayenne powder to the taco meat for some extra heat if desired.
