What’s Mexican Pizza?

Pizza does not mean only mozzarella, tomatoes, and pepperoni. This Mexican pizza recipe is delicious, healthy, and not worst than Italian pizzas. I have made this pizza countless times, and my family is excited every time we enjoy it. Slightly spicy, tasty, exceptional…

The crunchy tortillas, fluffy refried beans, fresh tomatoes, and the melted cheese – can you imagine anything tastier.

There are many versions of Mexican pizzas, and you should not be afraid to play with ingredients. My husband and I are just addicted to spicy food – so our portion of pizza is never missing pepper or chili flakes. For kids, I omit this ingredient.

Flour tortillas – many Mexina pizza recipes require browning tortillas. Surely they will taste better, but if you are looking for a healthy dish, then better omit this step.

Meat – my favorite is grilled chicken meat, as long as I can always use leftovers of chicken breast that is less beloved from the whole poultry. Browned ground beef of pork tastes delicious in this pizza too.

Tomatoes – this will add some freshness and vitamins to this dish.

Olives – what pizza without olives.
