Step Two: On a cookie sheet lay out the pizza dough into a rectangle.

Step Three: Add layer of beans on top of the pizza dough. Then make tears on the side to make strips.

Step Four: Add some half of the cheese on top of the beans.

Step Five: Add the ground beef. Then add remaining cheese.

Step Six: Now fold down your strips starting from with the first on the top, then the first strip on the right.

Step Seven: Continue this pattern until you reach the bottom. Use your fingers to tuck in dough on the top and the bottom.
