To make the pizzas:
- Place 4 tortillas on each baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, carefully flip tortillas over while they’re still in the oven (*don’t burn yourself*) and then bake another 5 minutes to crisp on the other side. You want tortillas a slight golden color and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook meatless crumbles (if using) according to package.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans until warmed through. Spread a thin layer of beans on one tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the meatless mixture (if using). Place another tortilla on top.
- Spread 3 Tablespoons of enchilada sauce on top of the top tortilla.
- Drizzle on some cheese sauce. Add tomato, green onion and olives (if using).
- Repeat process with the remaining tortillas. You will have 4 Mexican pizzas total.
- Place pizzas on the baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Add any additional topping you prefer. Enjoy!
