Canola oil
2 large whole-wheat tortillas or 4 small ones
1 pound ground beef, lean
1 package taco spices and seasonings
3/4 cup water
1-1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese or Cheddar
3 tablespoons diced green chilies

Directions
In a large skillet, pour oil to 1/4 inch depth; heat. Fry each tortilla about 4 seconds. While still pliable, turn tortilla over. Fry until golden brown. (Edges of tortilla should turn up about 1/2 inch). Drain well on paper towels. In medium skillet, brown ground beef until crumbly; drain fat. Add taco spices and water; blend well. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Place fried tortillas on pizza pan. Layer taco meat, 1/2 of cheese, chilies, tomatoes, remaining 1/2 of cheese, olives, and salsa. Bake, uncovered, in 425 F. oven for 15 minutes for large pizza or 7-8 for small.
