Instructions
Pizza Shells
- Pour a third-cup of vegetable oil onto a skillet.

- Take half of the tortilla shells and spread a thin layer of refried beans on them.
- Add 2 tablespoons of ground beef to layer of refried beans.
- Then, add a layer of cheese (about a tablespoon).
- Top the layers with another tortilla shell.
- Add remaining cheese to the top of the shells and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Finish by topping the tortillas off with chopped green onions and tomatoes.
Notes
- To make the vegetarian version of this dish, simply omit the ground beef.
- You can swap the taco sauce with Taco Bell dry seasoning if you prefer.
- Pair with your favorite salsa or sour cream!
This sounds delicious and will definitely give a try. I worked for Taco Bell 30+ years ago and I remember using enchilada sauce when creating this delicious menu item. They also had an enchirito on the menu so it was called enchirito sauce back in the day. Just a little tid bit for y’all.
