Do you love the Mexican Pizzas from Taco Bell? Now you can make your own at home with this Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza recipe!!
Have you heard the news? Taco Bell officially removed their Mexican Pizzas from the menu. Now, maybe you aren’t a Taco Bell fan and yes, I know its not the best quality food….but it sure is a tasty occasional treat!
When my hubby and I heard the news that Taco Bell was to remove their pizzas, we decided to set out and try our own copycat version at home.
After a few tweaks and changes along the way, this copycat version came about and surprisingly tastes really good!
You can actually buy Taco Bell hot sauce at your grocery store, so that was a fun addition to our Mexican Pizza!
Crispy tortilla shells, seasoned beef, refried beans, cheese, and more combined into one tasty dish!
Serve for a quick lunch, dinner, or even snack option!
My daughter loved these so much, she asked to bring the leftovers for her lunch at school the next day! Impressive, right?!
We chose to add sliced green onions and diced tomatoes on ours, but you can omit or add any desired toppings! Have fun with it and make it your own. Maybe instead of refried beans, you want to try black beans? Or add on some avocado? The possiblities are endless!
Next time you’re in the mood for a Mexican Pizza, don’t fret that Taco Bell no longer offers them! This Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is just as tasty and can be made in the convenience of your own home!
