If you love a good restaurant copycat recipe don’t miss my Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, Applebee’s Salad, or Nothing Bundt Cake. My husband loves Taco Bell, and it was because of him that I ever tried their Mexican Pizza. I love this copycat recipe because it uses higher quality ingredients and they’re easy to make.
Ingredients in Mexican Pizza:
Ground beef Taco seasoning (homemade, or 1 packet) oil Corn tortillas Refried beans (store-bought or homemade) Red enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade) shredded cheddar cheese roma tomato sliced olives green onions
How to make Mexican Pizza:
Cook ground beef. Add taco seasoning and water and stir to combine. Cook corn tortillas. Lightly pan fry them in a little bit of oil. Assemble. Spoon a thin layer of enchilada sauce on top of one corn tortilla, spread refried beans on and top with a spoonful of taco meat. Sprinkle cheese over the meat and place a second corn tortilla on top. Spread thin layer of enchilada sauce on top of the tortilla and sprinkle with more cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with olives, tomatoes, green onion and sour cream. Cut into wedges to serve.
I think these homemade Mexican Pizzas taste best warm from the oven, but feel free to store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can reheat them in the oven, air fryer, in a skillet on the stove, or in the microwave.
