Taco Bell Mexican Pizza
Description
The Taco Bell Mexican Pizza recipe features a base of flour tortillas fried until crispy in vegetable oil and layered with refried beans and taco-seasoned ground beef. It is assembled like a double-layer pizza, with enchilada sauce and shredded Mexican cheese topping the second tortilla. Baking melts the cheese and heats the layers through, resulting in a dish with crunchy edges and a tender, savory middle. Fresh diced tomato, sliced green onions, black olives, and sour cream add brightness and contrast to the rich base.
The method involves frying the tortillas individually to achieve a firm crispness that supports the toppings without becoming soggy. The combination of refried beans and seasoned ground beef provides a hearty filling, while the enchilada sauce introduces a tangy, mildly spicy note. Baking the assembled pizzas ensures a hot, cohesive dish with melted cheese binding the toppings.
Serve warm as a main or a shared appetizer. The blend of textures—from crispy tortilla to creamy beans and melted cheese—makes it appealing to those who enjoy layered Mexican-style dishes. It pairs well with salsa or guacamole on the side if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning or 1/2 of a taco seasoning packet
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain the excess grease from the pan. Then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Allow to simmer for 4-6 minutes until the water is cooked off and flavors are combined.
- In a separate large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the tortillas in the oil one at a time for 3-4 minutes until they are crispy. You will need to the flip tortillas regularly. Follow this process with the rest of the flour tortillas.
- Heat up the refried beans in the microwave.
- Then lay 4 of the tortillas on a baking sheet.
- Top with a layer of the refried beans and then the ground beef.
- Then place the other tortilla on top. Place some of the red enchilada sauce on top of the 2nd tortilla and place shredded cheese on top. Assemble all the pizzas.
- Then bake for 8-10 minutes until they are heated through and the cheese is melted on top.
- Top with the sour cream, tomatoes, green onions and black olives. Slice and enjoy!
