Mexican Pizza Method

Cook the ground beef over medium heat until brown then drain off the excess fat from the pan. Add salt, onions, paprika, chili powder and water then let mixture simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Stir often. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. If oil begins to smoke it is too hot. When oil is hot fry each tortilla for about 30 to 45 seconds per side and set aside on paper towels. When frying each tortilla be sure to pop any bubbles that form so that tortilla lays flat in oil.

Tortillas should become golden brown. Heat up refried beans in a small pan over the stove or in the microwave. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. When meat and tortillas are done, stack each pizza by first spreading about 1/3 cup refried beans on the face of one tortilla. Next spread 1/4 cup of meat then another tortilla. Coat your pizzas with two tablespoons of salsa on each, then split up the tomatoes and stack them on top. Next divide up the cheese, onions and olives, stacking in that order. Place Mexican Pizza in your hot oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese on top has melted and gone golden.
