Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

Place the tortilla chips in a mound on a 12-inch pizza pan and set aside.

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat for 7 to 10 minutes, or until no pink remains, crumbling it as it cooks. Stir in the taco seasoning and refried beans. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

Spoon over the tortilla chips, then top with the shredded cheese, olives, and chilies. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Remove from the oven and top with the salsa, sour cream, scallion, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
