I love getting the Mexican pizza from Taco Bell. The perfect late night snack! It is really easy to prepare this at home and is a great dinner or snack idea to make when you have leftovers from a taco dinner.

How To Make taco bell mexican pizza

  • 1
    In a large skillet, brown the beef over medium heat.
  • 2
    Once cooked, drain the excess fat from the pan.
  • 3
    Add salt, onions, paprika, black pepper, chili powder and water, then let the mixture simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently.
  • 4
    Heat the Crisco shortening in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. If the oil is smoking, it is too hot.
  • 5
    Fry each tortilla for about 45 seconds per side, or until golden brown and let drain on paper towels.
  • 6
    Heat up the refried beans in a small saucepan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 7
    To assemble the pizza: Spread about 1/3 cup refried beans on face of one tortilla.
  • 8
    Next spread 1/4 of meat, then another tortilla.
  • 9
    Coat the tortillas with two tablespoons of salsa, then split up the tomatoes and stack them on top.
  • 10
    Next divide up the cheese, onions and olives, stacking in that order.
  • 11
    Place pizzas on a sheet pan and in the oven for about 8 minutes or until cheese on top is melted.
