This copycat Mexican Pizza is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Incredibly easy and quick to make with warm flour tortillas, perfectly seasoned ground beef, and melty cheese. This Mexican Pizza is an amazing party appetizer option. And also, great for sharing.
It saddened me that Taco Bell discontinued their Mexican Pizza. It is one of my favorites on Taco Bell’s menu. I am so excited to find this copycat recipe. It tastes as good as taco bells, and it is super easy to make!
My husband is a big food junkie. He particularly loves Mexican food and, one of his obsessions is Taco Bells. We both love the zesty Mexican flavor of this Mexican Pizza. And of course, the cheese! Once this Mexican Pizza is out of the oven, the family starts to grab a piece or two! This recipe has been by far my favorite copycat of Taco Bells Mexican Pizza.
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
1 c. refried beans
1 c. red enchilada sauce
1 c. Old El Paso Shredded Cheese Mexican Taco Blend
1 lb ground beef cooked and drained
½ c. tomatoes, chopped
Cilantro & sour cream for garnish
½ packet taco seasoning based on a 1-ounce packet
How to make Copycat Mexican Pizza
Step 1: Brown the ground beef with taco seasoning. Drain when done and set aside.
Step 2: On a flat plate or skillet, heat the tortillas until both sides begin to turn slightly brown and crisp up, flipping as needed.
Step 3: Layer one tortilla on a pizza stone or non-stick baking sheet. Top the tortilla with refried beans, cheese, and ground beef. Then, place another tortilla on top.
Step 4: On top of the tortilla, spread 3 to 4 tbsp of the enchilada sauce, leaving around half an inch dry around the edges.
Step 5: Then, sprinkle with cheese, leaving half an inch of space around the edges.
Step 6: Broil for about 2 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking.
Step 7: When done, take the pan out of the oven and let the pizza cool for a little. Once ready to serve, top the Mexican Pizza with chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and sour cream. Enjoy!
