Take uncooked flour tortillas and make random cuts into them to prevent puffing during cooking.

Brush oil on both sides of the tortillas.

Place the tortillas on a rack and bake or air fry for 4 to 6 minutes at 400°F for uncooked tortillas or 350°F for cooked tortillas.

If using an air fryer, place a trivet or rack to prevent the tortillas from flying around.

Fry the tortillas in 2 cups of oil on medium to high heat if no oven or air fryer is available.

To make the enchilada or taco sauce, heat oil in a pan on medium to high heat.

Add cumin seeds, chopped onion, garlic, and salt to the hot oil.

Remove the stems from fresh chilies, break them, and add to the pan.

Add chopped tomatoes and water, and cook until everything is soft and mushy.

Turn off the stove and blend the mixture with a hand blender.

Pass the blended mixture through a sieve to remove seeds and skin, discarding them to get a thick sauce.

To prepare refried beans, wash 1 cup of dry pinto beans and add to a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water and salt to taste.

Lock the cooker and set to cook for 25 minutes.

Once done, drain the boiled pinto beans and grind to a coarse mixture.

In a medium-sized pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.

Add the prepared pinto beans and spices (ground cumin and paprika), mixing well to make refried beans.

Take one tortilla at a time, spread the refried beans, drizzle with taco or enchilada sauce, sprinkle with Mexican blend cheese, and diced tomatoes.

Add a little more enchilada sauce on top.

Bake at 450°F until the cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Garnish with spring onion and fresh jalapeno if desired, then cut the pizza into quarters or desired shapes.
