Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder (Spanish blend is best)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Pinch garlic powder
Pinch onion powder
2 tablespoons water
1 cup Crisco shortening or cooking oil
8 small (6" diameter) flour tortillas
1 16-ounce can refried beans
2/3 cup mild Picante salsa
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/3 cup diced tomato
1/4 cup chopped green onion

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt, dried onion, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to thoroughly incorporate everything into the ground beef.

2. Preheat a skillet over medium heat, and add the ground beef mixture to the pan along with the water. Brown the beef mixture for 5 to 6 minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat as it cooks.

3. Heat oil or Crisco shortening in a frying pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, fry each tortilla for about 30 to 45 seconds per side and set aside on paper towels. When frying each tortilla, be sure to pop any bubbles that form so that tortilla lays flat in the oil. Tortillas should be golden brown.

4. Heat up the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot, or in the microwave. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

5. When the meat and tortillas are done, build each pizza by first spreading about 1/3 cup refried beans on the face of one tortilla. Next spread 1/4 to 1/3 cup of meat, then another tortilla. Coat your pizzas with two tablespoons of salsa on each, then combine the cheeses and sprinkle the blend evenly over the top of each pizza. Split up the diced tomato and arrange evenly over the cheese on each pizza, followed by the green onion.
6. Place pizzas in your hot oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted. Cut each pizza into 4 slices and serve.
