Preparation

Step 1

1 Cook the ground beef over medium heat until brown, then drain. 2 Return meat to pan and add the salt, onions, paprika, chili powder and water. 3 Let mixture simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. 4 Heat oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. 5 When oil is hot, fry each tortilla for about 30-45 seconds per side and drain on paper towels. 6 Be sure to pop any bubbles that form when frying so that the tortilla lays flat in the oil. 7 Tortillas should become golden brown. 8 Heat refried beans. 9 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 10 Stack each pizza by first spreading 1/3 C beans on one tortilla. 11 Next add 1/3 C meat, then another tortilla. 12 Top the second tortilla with 2 T of salsa. 13 Divide the tomato, cheese, onions and olives evenly and top in that order. 14 Bake for 8-12 minutes.
