This Mexican Pizza is a delicious way to combine two of my favorites foods!
These Mexican Pizzas are so much better then….you know that one little building with a drive thru and I think it has a bell on it. Yes that one….Well it has always been my favorite on the menu. Pretty brilliant combining two of my favorite foods pizza and tacos, this one is definitely a MUST make!
This Mexican Pizzas can be whipped up for a quick weeknight dinner. I use my cast iron skillet to fry the tortillas, and then bake them on this sheet pan. Flour tortillas layered with beans and taco meat then topped with sauce, cheese and all your favorite toppings. Put a dollop of sour cream or salsa . Mmmm Perfection!!
My family loves this Mexican Pizza, always a nice change instead of the typical taco night. This recipe is super easy, and uses fresh ingredients that most likely you have on hand. Here are some of my other Mexican favorites.

Fantastic Dan so glad you loved it 🙂
What kind of taco sauce do you use?
I usually get Ortega, or the Taco Bell brand.
These are delicious! A little laborsome with lots of steps, but easy. Very yummy!
Oh I am so glad you liked them Susie! Totally made my day 🙂
That was a really helpful post. Thanks, Wendie!

I missed the recipe where it said flour tortillas m, but corn tortillas work great too!
