Taco Bell Mexican Pizza- two crispy tortillas sandwich a seasoned ground beef filling with a bunch of melty cheese on top.
I love to top these Mexican Pizzas with sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and green onions. So delicious!
Ingredients needed to make these Taco Bell Mexican Pizza:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning- Use “Hot” if you want it spicy.
- 1 can refried beans
- Flour tortillas- small are best but you can use medium.
- Shredded Mexican Cheese
- Red Enchilada Sauce- gets spread on the top tortilla like a pizza sauce.
- Vegetable oil- Canola oil can be used instead.
How To Make These Mexican Pizzas:
- Cook the ground beef and add the taco seasoning and a little water. Simmer until thickened.
- Warm the refried beans in the microwave.
- Briefly fry each tortilla in a little oil.
- Lay half the tortillas on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Spread the tortillas with refried beans and then place about 1/3 cup of ground beef mixture on each one.
- Sprinkle with a little cheese.
- Top with remaining tortillas and spread enchilada sauce on each one.
- Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add toppings and serve.
Toppings to Serve with This Recipe:
The more toppings the better. Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, diced tomatoes, olives, cilantro, diced red onion, pickled jalapenos, and diced avocado are all great choices. I sometimes like to serve these pizzas on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce. To add some heat, serve with Cholulu Hot Sauce.

Love Mexican pizza!
You’re basically there, but when I worked at taco bell 30 years ago, the pizza sauce was nothing like enchilada sauce – it was sweeter than that. That being said, I don’t have an alternate to point you to, because it was unlike any other sauce I’ve ever tasted. To be honest, it was pretty terrible on its own, so I can’t imagine anything comparable being commercially available. Maybe a cheap, chunky salsa, watered down just a bit, maybe with some simple syrup. Like I said, it was sweet. But somehow it worked in the Mexican pizza.
Oh, and the cheese blend was different for that, too. It had lots more white cheese in it. I assumed it was mozzarella, but not sure.
This pizza is quite simple, I think we can prepare it easily at home. https://tetrisgame.online
