To make the crispy tortillas, heat the vegetable oil in a pan to medium heat. Add the tortillas, 1-2 at a time, and lightly fry each side 2-3 minutes, or until the corn tortillas turn golden brown and begin to crisp up.

Set onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).

Next, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan to medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through.

Stir in the taco seasoning along with 1/4 cup water. Simmer 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Assemble your Mexican pizzas by setting 8 tortilla shells on a baking sheet.

Top each with enchilada sauce, refried beans, and taco meat.

Layer them with the remaining crispy tortillas, then add more enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.

Bake the pizzas for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Top with your favorite toppings and serve.
