The Taco Bell Mexican Pizza became a cult favorite in the late 1980s. Inspired by Mexican flavors and American fast-food creativity, it combines:

Crispy tortillas (instead of pizza dough)
Savory taco meat
Beans, cheese, and sauce layered like a pizza

Fans loved it so much that when it disappeared from menus, people begged for its return. This homemade version keeps the spirit alive—right in your kitchen.

🍕 Formation of the Pizza (How It’s Built)

The Mexican Pizza is all about layers:

Crispy tortilla base
Seasoned meat + beans
Second tortilla
Sauce + cheese
Oven magic ✨

Simple layers, BIG flavor.

🛒 Ingredients

(Serves 1 large 8-inch pizza)

2 low-carb or light flour tortillas (8-inch)
½ cup cooked lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
¼ cup refried beans (fat-free if preferred)
¼ cup enchilada sauce or mild taco sauce
½ cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican-blend cheese
Optional toppings:
- Diced tomatoes
- Green onions
- Jalapeños
- Black olives
- Light sour cream or Greek yogurt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray both tortillas with cooking spray.
Bake tortillas directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet for 3–5 minutes per side, until lightly golden and crispy.
While tortillas bake, cook ground beef in a skillet.
- Drain excess fat
- Stir in taco seasoning and cook until well combined.
Warm refried beans in the microwave or stovetop.

🍽️ Assembly Method

Place one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet.
Spread refried beans evenly over the tortilla.
Add seasoned beef on top of the beans.
Place the second tortilla on top (like a sandwich).
Spread enchilada or taco sauce over the top tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and add your favorite toppings.

💡 Beginner Tips & Methods
