Directions

  1. Heat refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on high until warmed through, about 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute.

  2. Spray both sides of each corn tortilla with cooking spray and arrange them on a wire rack.

  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry one side of each tortilla until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Return tortillas to wire rack, browned sides up.

  4. Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto the tortillas, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge.

  5. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over refried beans.

  6. Carefully transfer a tortilla pizza back to the skillet, bean side up.

  7. Lightly fry until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute more, return tortilla pizza to wire rack. Repeat with remaining pizzas.

  8. Scatter tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and olives over melted cheese.

  9. Slice pizzas to serve.

Recipe Note

I devised this simple snack for my Cinco de Mayo Fiesta party years ago. An instant hit, they get gobbled up so fast that I enlist guests and form an assembly line at the grill, no skillet needed. Guests love being involved in the action.
