Mexican Pizza

ShareTweetPinYummlyMexican Pizza – a homemade version of the famous Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, only better!  Super easy and a fun dinner the whole family will love. I used to love Taco Bell. I am pretty sure it was because you could get so much food for so little money, but their crunchy tacos were my favorite!  Then one day I discovered the Mexican pizza and I was hooked!  We all know I love Mexican food in any form.  I mean, I could have Sour Cream Enchiladas every day and be one happy girl.  But sometimes you have to mix it up a bit. And making restaurant favorites at home, is always a good idea!This Taco Bell Mexican Pizza recipe is really simple to make, you just need few ingredients and a few minutes and you are done.  The nice thing about this is you can customize it however you want.  If you don’t like beans, don’t add them.  If you really like black olives, add them.  It is up to you! I stuck with the basic version you can find at Taco Bell that has refried beans, taco meat, and a few diced tomatoes on top.  I did add a couple of green onions for color, but you could use cilantro instead or just leave it plain.  And if you have any Homemade Refried Beans, use those! How to Make Mexican PizzaThe first step is to make the taco meat.  You can use ground beef or ground turkey and whatever taco seasoning you like.  Just make it like you would for taco night. Next you want to get the tortillas nice and crispy.  If you have a griddle or large skillet that fits more than one, break it out for this.  Add a little bit of oil to your pan and heat the tortillas over a medium high heat.  You want to flip them frequently so they don’t burn.  But cook for 4-5 minutes until they are crispy. Now you start assembling.  Spread a layer of refried beans along the bottom of the tortilla.  Top with a layer of taco meat.  Once you have your filling, add the second tortilla and top with enchilada sauce.  You don’t want too much, or it will get soggy. Add a few diced tomatoes and an even layer of cheese over the sauce.  Now you bake until the cheese is melted, the tortillas are crispy and everything is hot!I like to let them sit for a minute before I slice them so it doesn’t make a huge mess.  Serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or just as is! I have been making this Mexican pizza for years, and it is such a fun way to mix up taco night.  It is easy to make and have everything on hand, plus the whole family will love it!  Plus like a lot of copycat recipes, this is so much better than the original!  You know what  the ingredients are and get to use your favorites!I created a fun group on Facebook, and I would love for you to join us! It’s a place where you can share YOUR favorite recipes, ask questions, and see what’s new at Dinners, Dishes and Desserts (so that you never miss a new recipe)!
