My soon to be in-laws love Taco Bell’s mexican pizza. I have been determined for some time now to make it healthier than the popular fast food chains recipe.
without compromising the flavor.
I think this might become a regular thing in the Myrick home.. we both love mexican food and with no additives or surprises in your food? this is a no brainer.

Serves 5
Ingredients
- 1 lb of ground 99% lean turkey
- 5 tbsp of hot sauce of choice, I used the taco bell medium
- 2 tbsp of McCormick Mexican blend
- 1 cup of refried black beans
- 1/2 cup of salsa
- 1 1/4 cup of 2% mexican blend shredded cheese
- 10 small corn tortillas or if you want it crunchier try tostadas
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
Instructions
- In a large skillet cook turkey, add 3 tbsp of hot sauce and mexican blend while cooking. Set aside. On a lined baking sheet lightly paint on olive oil on each side of tortillas. Cook on 375 for 6 minutes on each side, or until lightly toasted. If using tostadas, skip this step. Now prepare you pizzas. Spread 2 tbsp of beans evenly on 5 of the tortillas, then 2 tbsp of the turkey. Top with a tortilla. Paint the top tortillas with the other 2 tbsp of hot sauce. Add 2 tbsp of turkey to each one, top with salsa and then 1/4 of cheese to each pizza. Broil in the oven until cheese is completely melted.
- Enjoy!
