My husband absolutely adores Mexican food. We had gone out to a local restaurant and tried their Mexican pizza appetizer which he liked, But I felt I could improve on it, so I came up with this recipe and it was an instant hit. I've also brought it to potluck type dinners, and even used it as an appetizer. All my friends asked for the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as well.
