Ingredients Needed

Flour Tortillas: These are the crust. You’ll need fajita size (6-inch round).
Refried beans: The best style of beans for this recipe – use your favorite kind of beans for this.
Taco Meat: You can use ground turkey or beef and your favorite taco seasoning. I start with the meat already cooked, making this the perfect leftover meal.
Red Enchilada Sauce: This is the sauce we use in place of pizza sauce.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese: You can also mix different cheeses if you would like!
Roma Tomato
