Taco Bell Copycat Mexican Pizza 

Hello my cooking family! Hope you enjoy my recipes & continue to support me. Much love from my kitchen to yours❤💫

You have to be an original Mexican pizza fan to know it came with olives and green onions! Thanks for keeping it authentic!

I used to work at Taco Bell in the 80's. The way we cooked our beef was cooked the raw beef first until brown. Mix the dry ingredients with water. And add it to the beef and cook until done. And lastly, drain the fat. We used coconut oil to fry the flour tortillas lightly instead of vegetable oil. But it's a good substitution. The sauce was similar, and texture to picante salsa, like Pace. Looks delicious.

Thank you for recreating one of my two favorite items that Taco Bell used to have. The Mexican Pizza and the Encharito. I always ordered both for the different textures. Made this today and everyone went insane how good it was, especially my hubbie. I added some thinly sliced Serrano chilies, as everyone loves things hot here, and cubed some pieces of avocado, added after the pizza was out of the oven. Thank you!!!! I used to live in Tucson where Sonoran style cooking is king, and TBH, this nice quick meal is as satisfying as my labor intensive Carne Seca Machaca tacos,burritos, and chimichangas. Avocado crema is very nice drizzled on top as well. At 72 y.o. I'm sort of winding down my time standing all day in the kitchen, so this recipe is a keeper. I am most happy when cooking for my family.

I worked at taco bell in the 80s i made these, to melt the topings we would put the hole pizza in a steamer.you did a great job!

I have missed these from Taco Bell I'm glad you posted this recipe, ty.

Use Azteca crispy flaky shell

I’m so glad they are finally coming back in the next month or two. Luckily we have these to hold us till then. Thanks for the great vid. Thanks for the Fleetwood Mac-Dreams for the background music. One of my favorite Top 5 bands of all time. Along with the original Genesis, Pink Floyd and the Doors of course.

Thanks for sharing the recipe...loved the music and the video was relaxing n calming...I wish I was in your kitchen...will try this recipe today🤗

To me that looks perfect !!! Thank you . Great job 👏

Yes! The OG recipe from the 80s -early 90s

They look really delicious! It just so happens I cooked homemade refried beans and taco meat today so I will definitely have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Great channel and awesome choice of background music 🎶..!!

Good recreation! Health and happiness to you!

Will have to make these. Looks good!

Made yesterday so delicious

recipe worked out great .... thanks much

Looks good, gonna try this soon, thank you

I heard that crunch at the end. Yummo

Thank you for a great video. The pizzas look delicious. It is now August 2023 and Taco Bell still has not brought back the Mexican Pizza or the Enchirito. If they ever do, I could once again become a customer. I think my last trip to Taco Bell was prior to 2007.

Great job!

Poke holes in the tortilla and it won't bubble up when cooking them... looks great though ty

Looks yummy!

I’m a new subscriber to your channel and your recipes look sooooo good.. thank you for taking your time in the recipes ❤️

So good

Yummy I haven't tried one from taco bell but I'll make my own tonight for dinner

You ROCK !

Thank you!

Thanks for these Instructions. I cant wait top make it for myself! You forgot to put "enchilata sause" in your Ingredients list! Im glad i watched your demo to see the enchilada sause used to make the Mexican Pizza, or else i would not have used it!😖🤔😟

I make my mexican pizza tortillas in the air fryer. So crispy & good. It takes a little practice and making sure to weight them down but omg so good.

Anyway, that looks really good !! Got to try this. I LOVED the TB Mexican pizza😞

So many copycat recipes forget the olives... you didn't. Thank you!

Awesome video fam

Yours looks absolutely Amazing girl..wayyyy BETTER than taco bell's👏👏

Very yummy

Thanks for the video

I going to try it myself

Talk about the best Mexican pizzas ever

I to am a fan of Stevie Nicks lol great video will be making these this weekend cause Taco Bell is sold out of Mexican pizzas till September

I tried this recipe this week and it is very good! I was quite surprised at how quickly the tortillas crisp up in the oil. Maybe 1 minute? Maybe my oil was too hot? 🤔 I only ate one pizza in that it has a lot of material. Great recipe! A keeper.

Oh, nah. I've been waiting for this all my life.

That looks very good is that the same way Taco Bell makes it now if I make it I can add extra stuff like sour cream right

Thanks for posting this video. Here are some thoughts you might try some time if you're bored... 1. soften 1/2 an onion (sliced), in oil over medium heat, then warm the spices in the same pan w the onions. (I don't use the onion flakes and garlic/onion powders, but definitely add 1.5 tsp each of corriander and cumin). stir constantly, once the spices start to get aromatic, THEN add the ground beef and stir well to get the onion/spice distributed all over the meat. 2. When you put the canned refried beans in the pot, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of salsa and 1 or 2 tablespoon of water. This will help it cook more evenly and be less pasty when you go to spread it. Leave the beans on low for 10 minutes to really loosen them up, stirring often and add about 50% more water than you think you need to keep it from getting pasty again. Don't worry about adding the water, at TB they add LOADS of water as the pans of beans dry out to keep them soft. Otherwise they dry out quickly. 3. The sauce TB uses is 2/3 canned enchilada sauce and 1/3 chunky salsa 4. TB uses CORN tortillas for this dish. Flour is too fragile while corn can stand up to the spreading and pushing of the ingredients. It also won't get as soggy as flour. Hope you get to try this twist

Yum! How do you keep the tortillas crispy? Ours keep coming out of the oven kinda mushy 😮

I make my own refined beans from pintos bean really really good 👍

Taco please bring it back

Wow, I've never been to Taco Bell but this pizza seems amazing. I'm going to try it today (without the beef cuz this chica and her mija are vegetarians). TFS!

Use Azteca salad shell kit..but make flat in oven...so thin n crispy

That Mexican Pizza looked very cheesy good.

Ur recipe is spot on but....the pizza is placed in a steamer to melt the cheese and that's why tortilla is a bit soggy too.

These look delicious and I think I’ll try this recipe today. Do you preheat the oven before putting the pizzas in? About how long are they in the oven? 🤔🤓

Anything you make at home it tastes so much better than Taco Bell Taco Bell food gives me the runs

Want be enough ingredients to go on top of the other pizzas. Lol That's the way I make my stuff I make. I put plenty of ingredients on top ,you hardly get any on it at Taco Bell. 😃

Taco Bell is fun. It's not Mexican, of course, but it's fun.

Help! Thank you for your video. How do you get a crunchy tortilla. Store bought ones are to thick and when I made these the tortillas were chewy like after frying. Taco Bells have a snap crunch which makes it for me. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

To anybody that sees this and gets mad because Taco Bell doesn't do the Mexican pizza anymore do one at home cook it yourself it's better than Taco Bell by far

Looks fantastic!! Got meximelts?!! They really have screwed up their menu. Haven't been back since they discontinued pico. No pico, no bell, no how!

🤤😋👍🏽

I would just mix those refried beans with the seasoned ground beef.

Wish taco bell would also bring back the tostada

🤘❤️🤘😋

Looks delicious, my favorite, but I'd of cooked hamburger all by itself, & then drained, & added all the ingredients afterwards, I made fried catfish last night, & had some store bought Taco Bell mild hot sauce that I've never used, & OMG, I'm not a hot sauce kinda guy, but let me tell you, I couldn't get enough of that hot sauce, I was so mad, I only had like 6 pieces of fish in the bag from the freezer that a didn't cook last time I made fried catfish

A nice little elevator rendition of Fleetwood Macs Dreams💞

🙏😋😎

In your written ingredients you forgot the enchilada sauce

The tomato, onion and olives should have gone on after broiling the cheese. But looks awesome

Why vegetable shorting?? That stuff is bad for you. Just some oil. You can use olive oli.

Yummy I will make one as vegan I am and will homemade red beans to mush to make bean I need cut from salt, this is why. What happen 7 layer perfect for vegan, and more less need add vegan egg Walmart have now, there more ground meatless I am glad I always homemade taco chip bowl as taco salad with vegan grand ear, now this one, thank you for share.

❤very tasty mexicana pizza 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

If you take a toothpick and poke holes in the tortilla it won't bubble.

Surprised not to see cumin in the seasoning

U should deep fry the flour tortillas. And use Taco Bell sauce. IMO

Vegetable shortening is super bad for your health. Try lard or avocado oil instead.

I will add some sour cream and avocado too.

Garbs

I love DREAMS from fleetwood mack

Left out enchilada sauce in ingredients list.

music blew my ear drums out

good recipe. really no need for music

Fast food will never be as good as home cooking period enough said

Really chincy on the edges.

I did this recipe at home and it blows Taco Bell off the fucking map

I dont know a good Enchilada sauce. I've tried a few brands that people love and they taste bitter like penny's to me.

All a so-called Mexican pizza is is pretty much Mexican crunchy tortilla shell with the usual Mexican beef cheese tomato and fucking olives it's your basic flattened Taco with the beef the cheese the usual Mexican toppings with Italian style olives included that's all it is

Looks delicious..🖕

making this , this weekend . but no olives m no tomato

I used to love these but Taco Bell is too skimpy

Why do you use flower tortillas? Taco Bell uses corn tortillas like when they make their tostadas.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who almost had a heart attack when the intro music came on! 😆

You don't like raw onions, don't add them.

Too much effort. We should ask Taco Bell employees to advise us.

I don't think that takes good, based on the way of cooking

Cook a traditional Italian or American pizza make it a little extra crunchy in texture then you can call it a Mexican pizza it's bullshit

Will this give me diarrhea like Taco Bell?

Just my opinion. Don’t try to mimic Taco Bell. Their food is disgusting made by teenagers . Create your own taco pizza and leave Taco Bell out of it because our food is disgusting.

I hate beens

As a Scillian there is no such thing as Mexican pizza or lasagna or pasta lol Mexicans sure don't like when Rachel Ray screws up Mexican dishes jajaja so please leave ares alone! Sorry but not sorry

Sorry making them at home is not the same!! Tortillas that are sold in store are not as thin and crisp as Taco bells. So no thanks! By the way TB is gonna sell them again in May.

That sauce is wrong!!! It's not just enchilada sauce there is a type of pizza sauce blended with it with few chunks of tomato in the pizza sauce and that meat is nowhere near the recipe, there are way better recipes way closer to the real thing
