We loved this. We used 1 can of spicy refried beans and one can regular. We made it vegan by using vegan cheese on it. It was delicious. The only thing I'd say I did different was take the tortillas off the top because in the broiler, they curled up and didn't add much to the pizza. Will definitely make it again.

This actually tasted very much like a mexican pizza at Taco Bell! I just changed it a little. I fried the tortillas until crispy. Then when you put them under the broiler they soften a little bit, making it easier to cut into pieces. This was a very simple dinner to make. My daughter loved it, she ate hers and half of mine! I have been a vegan for a while and I have been trying to get my daughter to eat less meat, which has been a challange. This was a perfect recipe! She didn't even notice that there were no animals harmed in the making of it.
