MEXICAN PIZZA



Mexican Pizza image

I found this recipe online at www.mexicanfoodrecipes.org and posting for ZWT. The recipe says to use seasoned ground beef but doesn't give directions/ingredients for the seasoning. I suggest using Recipe #369923 or using a package of taco seasoning. Please feel free to serve this pizza with salsa, guacamole, lettuce or any topping of your choice. This is a recipe for two servings so feel free to double, triple etc. the amounts. This is also a great recipe to use up left-over taco meat.

  • Use a hot oven: A high oven temperature will help the pizza cook quickly and evenly. Aim for a temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
  • Watch the pizza closely: Mexican pizza cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the pizza immediately: Mexican pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve it with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.
