How to make Taco Bell Mexican Pizza
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer until thickened. Set aside.
Step 2: Lightly fry or bake the tortillas until crispy. Set on paper towels to drain if fried.
Step 3: Warm the refried beans until spreadable. On 4 of the tortillas, spread a layer of refried beans and then top with a layer of seasoned beef.
Step 4: Place the remaining tortillas on top to create a sandwich. Spread enchilada or taco sauce over the top layer, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
Step 5: Place the pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Slice and serve hot.
Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions
- Use ground turkey or shredded chicken instead of beef.
- Add jalapeños or pickled red onions for a spicy kick.
- Try a vegetarian version with black beans or grilled veggies.
- Swap enchilada sauce for salsa verde or chipotle sauce.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crispy texture of the tortillas.
