Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place tortillas on a baking tray, spaced out, and bake them in the oven.

Cook 1 lb of ground beef in a pan, chopping it up as it cooks.

Once the meat is cooked, move it to the side and use paper towels to soak up excess grease.

Add a little over an ounce of taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water to the beef, mix it in, and let it thicken.

Check on the tortillas, flip them to ensure they get crispy on both sides, then return them to the oven.

Open a can of black beans, drain them, and spread them out on a plate. Microwave for 1 minute to heat them up.

Mash the heated black beans with a fork, adding a little water to make them easier to spread.

Once the tortillas are crispy, place one on a plate, spread the mashed beans on top, and then add the taco meat.

Top with another crispy tortilla and press down.

Spread Taco Bell mild taco sauce evenly on top of the tortilla.

Sprinkle Mexican cheese on top of the sauce.

Dice a tomato and sprinkle it over the cheese.

Slice jalapenos super thin and place them on top of the pizza.

Add a little spicy chipotle sauce on one pizza and more taco sauce on the other.

Return the assembled pizzas to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and serve with a dollop of Daisy sour cream.
