Mexican Pizza

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
6 medium-size flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (16 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
1 tomato, diced
1 green onion, diced
1 small can sliced olives (optional)
Caynenne pepper (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. Place tortillas on each baking sheet. Bake in oven for 5 minutes, then carefully flip tortillas over bake another 5 minutes to crisp on the other side. Tortillas are ready when they are a crispy and a slight golden color. Remove from oven and set aside.
