Mexipizza Taco Beef Pizza Nutrition Facts
A copycat version of Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza. Mexican Pizza is vegetarian and baked. It tastes just like the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza.
Taco Bell is my absolute favorite fast food place in the world. Oh stop, don't judge me for it. It's a chain I have loved since the age of 14 and the older I got my affinity towards Taco Bell only grew stronger.
My favorite item to order is the Mexican Tortilla Pizza. Aside from their Mexican Pizza, my other favorite items are the Bean Burrito, 7 Layer Burrito, and Spicy Tostada. Since I do watch what I eat most of the time, I can't afford to eat Taco Bell as often as I'd like to, however I am capable of replicating some of their delicious menu items at home.
How do you make Baked Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell?
The key is to brush a little oil on the tortilla and then bake both sides. This results in a crispy outer shell.
Once done, proceed to layer the Mexican Pizza and then bake again.
This makes a great dish to celebrate Cinco De Mayo!
Ingredients you'll need to make Taco Bell Mexican Pizza:
Tortillas: As much as I prefer using whole-wheat, for this Taco Bell copycat, you need to use an 8″ white flour tortilla.
Refried Pinto Beans: I used canned organic refried pinto beans from Trader Joe's and they're delicious.
Taco Seasoning: Any brand of taco seasoning works, but I love Trader Joe's as it's a little spicy.
Water: You'll need a little water to dilute the beans slightly.
White Onion: You'll need some chopped white onion for the beans, yes we are adding some flavor to the beans.
Pizza Toppings: Tomatoes, Jalapeno, Scallions, Mexican Cheese, Salsa. You'll need all the ingredients for the pizza toppings.

How to make Taco Bell Mexican Pizza recipe step by step?
Bake the Tortillas
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a tray with foil.
2. Place 2 tortillas on a flat surface and lightly brush both sides of the tortilla with avocado oil. Prick the tortillas with a fork – this prevents them from puffing.
3. Once preheated, put the tray in the oven. Bake for 11 minutes total, 5 1/2 minutes on each side – so flip halfway. You can add multiple tortillas at a time.
4. Tortillas are done.
Make the Beans & Chop Veggies
1. In the meantime, make the beans. Empty the contents of the refried beans into a pot and cook on medium heat.
2. Add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of water and taco seasoning. Do not add salt since the taco seasoning has enough salt.
3. In the meantime, chop an onion. Add the onion to the beans. Once heated through, turn off the stove.
4. Chop the tomatoes, scallions, and jalapeno. Set cheese aside.
Assemble Mexican Pizza
1. Spread a couple of dollops of beans over the tortilla.
2. Top off with a little salsa and spread. Use your favorite salsa, or even Taco Bell sauce will work.
3. Place the second piece of tortilla on top.
4. Now top with salsa again. Spread.
5. Top with scallions, tomatoes, and jalapeno.
6. Top with cheese, make sure you get the sides.
7. Place the Mexican Tortilla Pizza back on the foiled tray and into the oven at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes. Check after 3 minutes.
8. Mexican Pizza is ready. Cut into 4 pieces and serve hot with Taco Bell sauce. You can also garnish with onions, cilantro, or sour cream.
