Preparation
Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Cook ground beef with all the spices, breaking up the beef into small pieces, until moisture is gone. Set aside.
Heat air fryer to 400°F, then cook tortillas until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. This may need to be done in batches depending on the size of the air fryer.
Place 4 crisped tortillas on a work surface to construct the pizzas. Start by evenly spreading refried beans on each tortilla, then layer with the seasoned ground beef, 1–2 ounces of fire-roasted poblano salsa, and 1 ounce of cheese. Top each pizza with a second tortilla, then spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce evenly over the top all the way to the edge, and cover with remaining cheese.
Cook taco pizzas in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and just beginning to brown. Use a spatula to remove from the air fryer, then garnish with pico de gallo, sour cream, black olive rings, and cilantro.
