Ingredients

    1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
    8 small (6") whole wheat tortillas
    1 can PC Mild low fat refried beans
    1/3 cup diced tomato
    2/3 cup PC Extra Chunky Extra Mild Salsa
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar or marble cheese
    1/4 cup chopped green onions
    1/4 cup sliced black olives

Directions

Cook ground beef over medium heat until brown, adding any of your favourite seasonings. I recommend Cilantro, Cumin and Rosemary. Drain excess fat from pan. In a separate pan fry each tortilla until both sides are light brown, set aside on paper towels. Heat up beans. Preheat oven to 400 F. Take two tortillas, one the first, spread 1/3 cup of refried beans on face of the tortilla. Next, spread 1/4 cup of meat, then another tortilla. Coat with 2 TBSP of salsa on top, add tomatoes, cheese, onions and last black olives. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Cook pizza in ovn for 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy! Makes four pizzas.
