Easy Mexican Pizzas Recipe

Pizza is always a winning choice for casual meals and snacking but it’s fun to take the flavor in another direction once in a while. These pizzas are made using tortillas for quick assembly. How to make Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

• Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven 425℉. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Tortillas – In a large skillet on the stovetop spray the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray (or brush with oil) and lightly toast each tortilla on both sides over medium-high heat. This only takes seconds to do. Arrange 4 tortillas on the prepared sheet pan. Set aside.
• Taco Meat – In the same skillet cook the ground beef and onion in a light drizzle of oil over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes or until no pink remains.
• Drain excess fat from the pan then add tomato sauce, taco seasoning, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, granulated garlic and chili powder. Mix well to combine then simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
• Shredded Cheese – Mix the cheddar cheese and monterey jack cheese together and separate into thirds.
• Assemble the Mexican Pizzas – Sprinkle first 1/3 of the cheese evenly on each tortilla. Spread refried beans over cheese then top with taco meat. Sprinkle taco meat with more cheese then top each with another tortilla.
• Taco Sauce – Spread taco sauce, over the top tortilla and arrange diced tomatoes on top. Finish with final 1/3 of the shredded cheese.
• Transfer to Oven – Place pan into the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are lightly golden.
• Serve – Cut into wedges and serve garnished with green onions and your favorite taco fixings.

How to Make the BEST Mexican Pizzas Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Mexican Pizzas with tortillas: 8 or 10 inch flour tortillas, ground beef, onion, olive oil, canned crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce, Taco Bell taco seasoning (or similar), seasoned salt, lemon pepper, granulated garlic, dark chili powder, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, refried beans, taco sauce, diced cherry tomatoes or roma tomatoes, green onions and sour cream, jalapenos, guacamole and salsa for serving.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large skillet, large sheet pan, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board, cheese grater and large spoon.
• You can make the taco meat up to 2 days in advance to expedite assembly. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and warm it slightly before separating onto the pizzas.
• You can use any blend of cheese that you enjoy. It’s fine to eyeball the amounts, there’s no such thing in my cookbook as too much cheese.
• You can swap out ground beef for chorizo, ground chicken, ground turkey or pork. Chorizo is already seasoned and may not require additional seasonings.
• Once the pizzas are made you can serve them immediately alongside your favorite taco toppings.
• Store leftover Mexican Pizzas chilled in the refrigerator or up tp 3 days.
• Reheat in an air fryer in single servings or on a sheet pan in a 375°F oven to crisp.
