Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza: Crunchy tortillas stuffed with flavorful beans/beef and topped with melty cheese. Tasty and healthier than the drive thru!
I heart Taco Bell! Authentic Mexican cuisine? Not so much! Delicious and cheap? Yes and yup!
However, our closest one is around ~20+ minutes away. Hardly a quick place to go for supper.
One of my favorite things to get at Taco Bell is their Mexican Pizza. It’s not a true pizza, but rather 2 crispy tortillas filled with beans, meat, sauce, and of course, lots of melty cheese.
Like it hot? Add some hot salsa or jalapeños!
If you don’t want to fry your own tortillas try buying pre-made tostada shells from the grocery store.
