Easy Mexican Pizza Recipe

Easy Mexican Pizza Recipe


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 4 medium-sized flour tortillas

  • 1 cup refried beans (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 cup cooked ground beef (seasoned with taco spices)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

For the Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional)

  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for spice lovers)

For the Taco Seasoning (if making from scratch):

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

  • 1/4 tsp oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your pizza bakes evenly and gets that perfect crispy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Taco Meat

In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then add the taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade) and a splash of water. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Base

Place two tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread a layer of refried beans evenly over each tortilla. Top with the seasoned ground beef and a generous amount of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 4: Add the Second Tortilla Layer

Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the cheese-covered tortillas to create a “sandwich” effect. Press gently to secure the layers.

Step 5: Bake the Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.

Step 6: Add Fresh Toppings

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, cilantro, and jalapeños (if using). Drizzle with sour cream and salsa if desired.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Cut the Mexican Pizza into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Serve immediately and enjoy!
