If you love Mexican food and indulging in a warm, gooey slice of pizza on occasion then you are in the right place. These Mexican Pizzas are the best of both worlds, combining the bold flavors and textures of classic Mexican dishes with the beloved American staple: pizza!
Substitute your oven for a camp stove or camp oven over your campfire
These indulgent Mexican Pizzas start out with a crisp flour tortilla topped with refried beans, a seasoned ground beef mixture and another crispy tortilla. Zesty enchilada sauce is then spread over the top followed by a sprinkling of cheddar and pepper-jack cheese, diced tomato, green onion and olives. To make the cheese all melty and bubbly, the pizza is placed in the oven for 5 minutes, creating a warm, gooey Mexican Pizza ready to be devoured!
They are rich in flavor, come together easily and are perfect for those ‘make your own pizza’ nights. You can also tweak the recipe so you can serve to a larger crowd or for a single serving if it’s just for one!

WAYS TO CUSTOMIZE MEXICAN PIZZA
These pizzas are easily customizable. Try out a few of these options to add that little extra something.
Enchilada Sauce: not a fan of red enchilada sauce? Green chile enchilada sauce is just as tasty.
Tortilla: to take things to the next level, try using corn tortillas instead.
Cheese: you can honestly use whatever cheese you prefer, but adding a sprinkling of Cotija cheese or drizzle of Queso Blanco cheese to the top of your pizza would make for one out of this world experience!
Toppings: you can top your pizza with whatever you prefer! Sour cream, shredded lettuce, black beans or salsa would all be delicious options.
Rice: as well as having a bean layer, you could also try adding a layer of rice. My Mexican Rice would be amazing on these.
CAN YOU USE CHICKEN INSTEAD OF BEEF? Of course! The taco seasoning mixture would be just as tasty on shredded chicken. You could also try out ground turkey too.
CAN YOU DEEP FRY THE TORTILLAS? You certainly can! I bake the tortillas to reduce calories and keep things a little cleaner, but deep frying them would be amazing. They would be extra crispy- and extra tasty.
HOW LONG DO MEXICAN PIZZAS LAST? If you store them in the fridge in an airtight container they will last a day or two, but I wouldn’t go longer than that.
