Cook Ground Beef:
Brown ground beef in a skillet. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and ½ cup water. Simmer 8–10 minutes until thickened.

Crisp the Tortillas:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake tortillas on a tray for 3–4 minutes per side until edges are lightly crisp.

Assemble Pizza Base:
On one tortilla, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce. Spoon on a generous amount of taco meat, leaving space at the edges.

Top & Layer:
Place another tortilla on top if layering (optional), or skip to topping. Spread more enchilada sauce over the meat layer.

Add Cheese:
Evenly sprinkle a blend of shredded cheddar and mozzarella. Cover to the edge, letting cheese melt down naturally.

Bake to Melt:
Bake for 5–7 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly, with a glossy, golden top.

Add Fresh Toppings:
Top center with diced tomatoes, chopped white onions, and sliced jalapeños — clustered in the middle as seen in the image.

Slice & Serve:
Cut into 6 clean wedges. Serve immediately.
