This Mexican Pizza is a delicious way to combine two of my favorite foods!

This is a homemade version of the famous Taco Bell Mexican pizza. Well, it has always been my favorite on the menu. Pretty brilliant combining two of my favorite foods pizza and tacos.

This Mexican pizza can be whipped up for a quick weeknight dinner. I use my cast iron skillet to fry the tortillas, and then bake them on this sheet pan. Flour tortillas layered with beans and taco meat then topped with sauce, cheese, and all your favorite toppings. Put a dollop of sour cream or salsa. Mmmm Perfection!!
How to make a Mexican Pizza
- Start by frying up the ground beef in a large skillet and use homemade taco seasoning or store bought.
- Add oil to a hot skillet and fry the flour tortillas and place on a paper towel to drain.
- Next, lay one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet followed by an even spread of refried beans.
- Now add a spoonful of taco meat, followed by another tortilla.
- Next add your taco sauce, cheese, tomatoes, and olives.
- Bake until cheese is melted, and sprinkle fresh chopped green onions on top.

My family loves this Mexican Pizza, always a nice change instead of the typical taco night. This recipe is super easy and uses fresh ingredients that most likely you have on hand. If you're craving real pizza you've got to try my Cast Iron Pizza.
