Directions
Brush one side of each of two tortillas with water.
Press the wet sides of the tortillas together to form a thick crust for the pizza.
Brush the outside of the tortillas with a small amount of oil or margarine.
Evenly brown both sides in a heated frying pan.
Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
Set aside.
Heat refried beans, onion, and half of the chili peppers together in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat.
Spread about ⅓ cup of the bean mixture on each tortilla pizza.
Sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon taco sauce, then top with ½ cup of the chopped vegetables, 1 teaspoon chili peppers, and 1 Tablespoon cheese for each pizza.
Return to frying pan and heat until cheese melts.
Top with cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately.
