I love getting these Mexican pizzas from Taco Bell. It’s one of all time favorite orders.

Do I have to use ground beef for this Taco Bell Mexican Pizza?

The Taco Bell version does use ground beef but you don’t have to use it for this recipe if you’d prefer not to.

Ground chicken or turkey would absolutely work also. Feel free to use whatever you’d like.

How can I make this Taco Bell Mexican pizza spicy?

If you’re like me and love spicy food, here are some ways that you can add some heat to this recipe.

• Use a hot & spicy taco seasoning packet instead of mild.
• Add some chopped jalapeños or chili’s as a topping.
• Choose a spicy cheese like pepper jack. Just be sure to shred it yourself.

Do I really have to shred the cheese myself?

This is the one thing that I’d really urge you not to take a shortcut on.

Pre-shredded bagged cheese has chemicals in it like cellulose.

This keeps the cheese from clumping but it also prevents it from melting properly.

Shred the cheese off the block and these Taco Bell Mexican pizzas will turn out much creamier.

Taco Bell Mexican pizza ingredients

• Small tortillas
• Canola oil
• Red enchilada sauce
• Ground beef
• Taco seasoning
• Refried beans
• Cheddar cheese, hand shredded
• Monetary jack cheese, hand shredded
• Toppings of your choice

Instructions

First, make the ground beef according to the directions on the taco seasoning packets and set it aside.

You’re going to use 2 packets for one pound of beef for extra flavor.

Now, heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the tortillas on both sides until they’re lightly crisped and golden brown.

After that, let them drain and slightly cool on either paper towels or a wire rack.

Then add half of the fried tortillas down on a large parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Next, put some enchilada sauce down and spread a little of the refried beans onto the top of the sauce.

Now, add the ground beef evenly on top of the refried beans followed by the half of the shredded cheeses.

Then top that with another tortilla.

Next add some more enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.

Bake them in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Finally, top them with sour cream, chopped parsley or whatever you’d like and enjoy.
