Step one

Preheat oven to 200°F (100°C).
Step two

Warm a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat both sides of a tortilla with PAM® spray and add to skillet. Toast, turning once, for 90 seconds or until crispy. Transfer to baking sheet in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas and more avocado oil spray.
Step three

To the skillet, add ground be’f, taco seasoning and 1-1/4 cups (310 mL) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until be'f has started to brown.
Step four

To medium microwave-safe bowl, add refried beans. Microwave on HIGH, stirring halfway through, for 1 minute to soften.
Step five

Remove tortillas from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Step six

On 2 cool baking sheets, arrange 5 tortillas. Spread each with 1/2 cup (125 mL) refried beans and top with 1/2 cup (125 mL) be'f mixture. Top with remaining tortillas. Top each stack with 2 tbsp (30 mL) enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup (56 g) cheese.
Step seven

Bake in batches for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese has melted. Top with tomatoes and scallions. Slice pizzas into quarters and serve.
