# Steps:
01 -
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion. Once beef is fully cooked, drain any extra grease.
02 -
Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and cayenne. Add minced garlic and stir well.
03 -
Lightly fry the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat with enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Fry each side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Place fried tortillas on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
04 -
Heat up the refried beans to make them easier to spread.
05 -
Spread refried beans on a fried tortilla. Add a scoop of seasoned ground beef and a layer of shredded cheese. Top with another fried tortilla. Spoon taco sauce over the top tortilla and add more shredded cheese.

Bake the assembled pizzas at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes.

Top the baked pizzas with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy.
