About Tortilla Pizza

Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is one of the most popular items, that was they stopped making around 2018. Good news if they are soon planning to bring it back on their menu!! but till the time it is not available and you crave for it make it and enjoy!!

And if you never had it and want to try something new.. this is a must try recipe which is filling and at the same time delicious too.

It is also popularly known as Taco Pizza or Tortilla Pizza as the fillings are almost the same as Taco.

In India, at CHILI's Restaurant, they have Classic Nachos which is almost similar to Tortilla Pizza with refried beans, topped with cheese and served with sour cream and pico de gallo.

Reasons to try Mexican pizza at home

It is a very simple and easy recipe with easily available ingredients.

If you love Mexican/Tex-Mex cuisine.

Love cheesy pizza and want to try something that you have never tried!

Want healthy, clean eating.

Crowd pleaser and kids friendly.

Ingredients to make Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

Tortillas- I used store bought tortillas, you can use homemade like these Spinach Tortillas with Whole Wheat Flour or even leftover chapatis. For restaurant style Mexican pizza prefer store bought tortillas.

For Gluten-free Pizza, you can use any gluten-free flatbread or Soft Corn Tortillas.

Instead of Tortillas you can also use thin crust pizza dough. Bake the base after rolling till light brown (10-12 mins) and then make pizza once the base cools down.

Refried Beans- I prefer my homemade Refried Pinto beans. You can use canned beans also Vegans/Vegetarians do check that the beans do not contain any lard.

Homemade Refried Beans in Instant Pot and Indian Pressure Cooker

Instead of refried beans you can use any other Vegan Taco filling.

Enchilada Sauce- Instead of using the classic Pizza sauce, use the Enchilada Sauce. USe canned or home bought. Since in India we do not easily get Enchilada sauce, so I prepare it on my own whenever we are in mood to enjoy some Mexican food like the Enchiladas. You can even use it in various other dishes like making casseroles, use in pasta or mac n cheese. Will soon post my Homemade Enchilada Sauce Recipe.

If you cannot source enchilada sauce then use the store bought salsa or even pizza sauce works fine.

Cheese- Mexican Cheese Blend is the best to use in the recipe here. You can also use mix of Cheddar and Mozzarella or only Cheddar Cheese.

Onions, Tomatoes, Olives for pizza topping. You can also dd any other veggie of your choice.

Seasoning- Red Chilli Flakes, Mexican Seasoning or Taco Seasoning, add as per your taste.

Oli- To brush the taco.

Ingredients for Taco Pizza

How to make Mexican Pizza or Taco Pizza

Preheat the oven to 400F or 200C,

Cook the refried beans (from the can or homemade) for 2-3 mins in pan. You can add some chopped onions also. Let it cool. Refried beans should not be watery(homemade) as it will make the base of your pizza soggy.

Crip the tortillas on griddle or bake in oven/air fryer.

Once done, cool it a bit and then spread 2-3 tbsp refried beans or as required.

Cove the beans with another crisp tortilla.

Then spread the Enchilada sauce or any other sauce that you are using.

Top it with cheese, onions, tomatoes and olives, or any other topping of your choice.

Transfer carefully

Bake in preheated oven at 400F or 200C, for 5-10 mins or till cheese melts.

Serve with your favourite salsa/sour cream.

How long can we store the leftover Tortilla Pizza

I do not like to make ahead and keep the Mexican Pizza for long so won;t recommend that . Just like any other pizza it tastes best when served fresh and hot. But you can store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate, Reheat in oven/air fryer or griddle. It won't stay as crisp as the fresh tortilla pizza.

Restaurant Style Food

Tagging this Restaurant Style Taco Pizza post to my facebook foodies group Shh Cooking Secretly Challenge. This month's theme was suggested by Aruna who blogs at Vasu's veg. Kitchen. I made these crispy Taco Pizza. For the theme Aruna made Restaurant Paneer Do Pyaza and Sasmita used yogurt and red chilli powder that I gave her as secret ingredients and made this delicious Vegetable Dum Biryani

      Thanks Kalyani. I too came to know about Enchilada sauce during my stay in US. It is tomato based sauce used for enchiladas and many other dishes, hopefully will soon update the recipe.

    What a wonderful idea to have different flavours on a pizza. And using tortilla wraps, that makes it so much easier. Though I've not tried Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, this recipe I am definitely trying out soon.
