Crispy Mexican Tortilla Pizza – this easy tortilla pizza only takes 15 minutes to make!Topped with good-for-you ingredients, Mexican pizza is an easy family favorite!
My boys love pizza and Mexican food so it isn’t a surprise that one of their favorite meals is this Crispy Tortilla Mexican Pizza. They probably eat this Mexican pizza once a week and I am ok with that because it is super easy to make and topped with good-for-you ingredients! And when I say easy, I mean 15 minutes easy…you can’t beat that!
The crustof the tortilla pizza is, you guessed it, a flour tortilla! You don’t have to roll out any pizza dough for this Mexican pizza. See, I told you it was easy! We like to use Old El Paso’s Restaurant Grande Flour Tortillas because they are huge and great for making this Mexican pizza. You can make smaller Mexican tortilla pizzas by using regular flour tortillas. Both work great!
Mexican Tortilla Pizza
We crisp up the tortillas in the oven and then top them with Old El Paso’s Vegetarian Refried Beans, salsa, and shredded cheese. They go back in the oven for a hot minute, just until the cheese is melted, and then we top them with all of our favorite toppings. We like to add tomatoes, black olives, avocado, cilantro, and green onion. Feel free to add your favorite Mexican toppings!

Mexican Pizza (taco Bell Copycat Recipe)
If you love Mexican food and indulging in a warm, gooey slice of pizza on occasion then you are in the right place. These Mexican Pizzas are the best of both worlds, combining the bold flavors and textures of classic Mexican dishes with the beloved American staple: pizza!
These indulgent Mexican Pizzas start out with a crisp flour tortilla topped with refried beans, a seasoned ground beef mixture and another crispy tortilla. Zesty enchilada sauce is then spread over the top followed by a sprinkling of cheddar and pepper-jack cheese, diced tomato, green onion and olives. To make the cheese all melty and bubbly, the pizza is placed in the oven for 5 minutes, creating a warm, gooey Mexican Pizza ready to be devoured!
They are rich in flavor, come together easily and are perfect for those ‘make your own pizza’ nights. You can also tweak the recipe so you can serve to a larger crowd or for a single serving if it’s just for one!
Low Carb Tortilla Pizza
Cheese:you can honestly use whatever cheese you prefer, but adding a sprinkling of Cotija cheese or drizzle of Queso Blanco cheese to the top of your pizza would make for one out of this world experience!
Toppings: you can top your pizza with whatever you prefer! Sour cream, shredded lettuce, black beans or salsa would all be delicious options.
Rice:as well as having a bean layer, you could also try adding a layer of rice. MyMexican Ricewould be amazing on these.
Crispy Flour Tortilla Tacos
Of course! The taco seasoning mixture would be just as tasty on shredded chicken. You could also try out ground turkey too.
You certainly can! I bake the tortillas to reduce calories and keep things a little cleaner, but deep frying them would be amazing. They would be extra crispy- and extra tasty.
If you store them in the fridge in an airtight container they will last a day or two, but I wouldn’t go longer than that.

When my husband and I were stationed in England years ago, I often craved my favorite foods from the States. If I couldn’t get them in England, I would try to recreate them at home.One of those things was Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza. This one is slightly similar to my Easy Layered Taco Bake but I don’t use refried beans in that one and the tortillas in that one are not fried.
No. It is totally an American invention for American consumers. Not that anything Taco Bell makes is truly Mexican, but ya know, we like it.
Simple Tortilla Pizzas
Yes. You can make this is big or small as you’d like. You can use street taco sized tortillas or burrito size tortillas. You can also purchase the Azteca shells that you would use for taco bowls and bake those. They are pretty large and are great to serve more people.
Yes. The Taco Bell version uses a sauce that is similar to enchilada sauce with lots of diced tomatoes in it. We don’t have a similar sauce like that you can buy at the grocery store so the closest I have found is enchilada sauce. You could certainly mix the enchilada sauce with half a can of drained diced tomatoes to get it close to the Taco Bell version.
No. I love how crispy it makes the shells but you could bake them or put them in the air fryer until crispy.
