Olive oil
1 large or 2 small chicken breasts diced into small pieces
Taco or fajita seasoning or your own blend of spices such as chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt and pepper
4 medium-large flour tortillas
Cooking spray
½ can refried beans or jalapeno bean dip
1 small jar taco sauce recommended: Taco Bell brand
Mexican blend cheese shredded
1 small can sliced black olives
1 tomato seeds and juice removed, diced
Small bunch of green onions thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat some olive oil in a skillet. Add chicken and taco or fajita seasoning (or just shake in some chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt and pepper). Add a little water if necessary to dissolve the spices. Alternatively, add precooked shredded or diced chicken to the pan without oil and add spices and water to season meat.
1 large or 2 small chicken breasts, Olive oil
Spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray and place them on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 3 minutes, then flip and bake for about 3 more minutes until golden brown and crispy. (Make sure to watch them closely because they can burn easily).
4 medium-large flour tortillas, Cooking spray
Remove tortillas from oven and turn oven up to 400°F.
Heat refried beans/bean dip in a small bowl, if desired.
½ can refried beans or jalapeno bean dip
To assemble the pizzas: spread beans on top of one of the tortillas, then add the chicken, top with second tortilla, spread taco sauce evenly on top, add cheese and olives.
1 small jar taco sauce, 1 small can sliced black olives
Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with tomatoes and green onions. Cut each pizza into 4 slices using a pizza cutter.
