Homemade Mexican Pizza – Taco Bell Style
I have been making these Taco Bell inspired Mexican Pizzas for years. These are easy to make and taste so much better than fast food. Not only are the ingredients better but we are adding extra flavors to take it up a notch.
I never in a million years would’ve thought Taco Bell would discontinue the Mexican Pizza because they are so popular. It’s a good thing we can make them at home.
Is The Mexican Pizza Leaving Taco Bell?
Yes! Crazy, right? I’m pretty sure it’s already gone. I always thought the Mexican Pizza was a Taco Bell specialty, kinda like it’s unofficial mascot. It was always the most popular item of everyone I’ve ever known. But, Taco Bell did in fact decide to ax it from the menu.
Ingredients Needed For Homemade Mexican Pizzas (screenshot for grocery list)
- Ground Beef

- Flour Tortillas
- Oil
- Refried Beans

- Shredded Cheddar/Jack Cheese
- Sliced Olives
- Roma Tomatoes
- Shredded Lettuce

How To Make Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas
- Prepare ground beef and taco seasoning according to package instructions. Use a potato masher to break ground beef into smaller crumbles. (This creates a more Taco Bell style ground beef) Set aside.
- Heat oil in fry pan over medium/high heat. Fry each tortilla until lightly browned and crisped. Use just enough oil to grease the bottom of the pan.
- Preheat oven to 375ºF
- Place one tortilla on greased rimmed baking sheet. Top tortilla with refried beans, spread. Next, layer taco meat and salsa. Top with a second tortilla. Coat tortilla with enchilada sauce. Top with shredded cheese, olives, tomatoes and a little more cheese. Repeat this process 3 more times to make 4 Mexican Pizzas in total.
- Bake pizzas 5-7 minutes to heat and melt cheese. Serve topped with shredded lettuce, sliced green onions and sour cream.
