Ingredients

12 6 in corn tortillas
1 lb ground beef or chicken, pork or turkey
16 oz refried beans
2-3 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder can substitute 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
2 roma tomatoes chopped
3 scallions chopped
2 jalapeños seeded and chopped
8 oz sour cream
1 package cheddar cheese shredded
salt to taste
1 avocado diced
2 cups lettuce shredded
cilantro chopped
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
black olives sliced, optional
black beans rinsed, drained and warmed, optional

Instructions

Beef

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C)
In a large skillet brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break beef apart with a spoon or spatula as it's cooking.
Add chili powder, garlic powder, salt and jalapenos. Stir.
Cook for another few minutes and set aside.

Refried Beans

Heat the refried beans in saucepan or microwave and stir several times while heating. Heating allows for easier spreading on tortillas.

Corn Tortillas

In a large skillet add the oil and heat over medium heat.
Cook corn tortillas until they are slightly brown on both sides. About 10 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

Spread out 4 tortillas on a cookie sheet.
Spread refried beans on each tortilla to cover. Place a second layer of tortilla on top of each.
Add ground beef and cheese on each second layer.
Top each one once again with another tortilla.
Sprinkle with more cheese and bake for 15 minutes in oven at 350 degrees (175 degrees C).
When the pizzas are done, cut each pizza into wedges or quarters.
Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, scallions, avocado, chopped cilantro and sour cream. Top with black beans and black olives if using. Place on a platter and serve warm. Enjoy!
