Why This Mexican Pizza Recipe Will Win Over Everyone

The magic of Mexican Pizza lies in its bold flavors and approachable simplicity. By stacking tortillas with seasoned meat, refried beans, and your choice of toppings, you get a layered, crunchy, and cheesy creation that’s satisfyingly hearty without being heavy. It’s a recipe that invites creativity—swap in shredded chicken or crumbled tofu for a twist, and top with any fresh veggies or salsas you love.

Making the Perfect Toppings

For the best flavor, dice fresh veggies like tomatoes and onions finely. A good chopper like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes prepping these toppings quick and consistent. Sauté onions and peppers for extra flavor depth, or keep them raw for a fresh crunch.

A Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender is perfect for making a quick homemade salsa or blending smooth sauces, giving your Mexican Pizza a fresh, restaurant-style finish.

Assembling and Baking Your Mexican Pizza

To achieve that perfectly crisp tortilla base, use a high-quality non-stick pan such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for lightly crisping tortillas before assembling. When baking, line your sheet pan with a layer of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to prevent sticking and make cleanup effortless.

Layer the tortillas with seasoned ground beef, creamy refried beans, salsa, and cheese, then bake until everything is golden and bubbly. The result? Thick, satisfying layers that hold together for easy slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions for Your Mexican Pizza

Serve your Mexican Pizza hot from the oven, garnished with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream. A side of fresh guacamole or a simple green salad in a Bentgo Salad Container completes the meal. For parties, slice the pizza into wedges so guests can grab and go—no utensils required!

Nutritional Information and Serving Size

This recipe serves 4–6, depending on how large you cut your pizza slices. Each serving is packed with protein from the beans and beef, calcium from the cheese, and fiber from the tortillas and veggies. For a lighter version, use lean ground turkey and whole wheat tortillas.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup.
2. In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Use the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to break up the meat evenly. Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning and water, then simmer until thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
3. In a separate frying pan, lightly crisp each tortilla with a spritz of oil, using the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for best results. Set tortillas aside.
4. Place 4 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a layer of refried beans on each, top with a layer of seasoned beef, and sprinkle with a little cheese. Place a second tortilla on top of each stack.
5. Spread a spoonful of salsa on top of each upper tortilla, then cover generously with remaining cheese. Add diced tomatoes, olives, and green onions as desired.
6. Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove, top with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Slice into wedges and add optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, or jalapeños.
