Mexican Pizza Toppings and Filling
This copycat Mexican recipe is filled with seasoned ground beef and refried beans. The pizzas are topped with layers of salsa, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, tomatoes, green onion and jalapeño slices.
How to Store Mexican Pizza
These homemade Mexican pizzas are best served immediately so the tortillas stay crisp. However, if you have leftovers, you can wrap them in foil (or place them in an airtight container) and store them in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven.

“Whole family enjoyed these,” says Sharon H. “I took the easy way out due to time and used a packet of taco seasoning instead of the individual seasonings. Doubled the recipe and put the pizzas on cookie sheets.”
“So yummy,” raves Stefani Anderson. “I omitted the meat as we’re vegetarian and just added the spices to the onions and garlic while they were sautéing. I’ll definitely make it again!”
“This pizza satisfied my craving for a light Mexican meal,” says Sandi. “I made this for lunch today. Super easy. Instead of two pie plates, I used a rectangular glass baking dish.”

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings
½ pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
½ cup salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 green onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
¼ cup thinly sliced jalapeño pepper
¼ cup sour cream (Optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 2 pie plates with non-stick cooking spray.
Place ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Season beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Lay one tortilla in each pie plate, and cover with a layer of refried beans. Spread 1/2 of the seasoned ground beef over each one, and then cover with a second tortilla. Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes.
Remove pizzas from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Then spread 1/2 of the salsa over each top tortilla. Cover each pizza with 1/2 of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Place 1/2 of the tomatoes, 1/2 of the green onions, and 1/2 of the jalapeño slices onto each one.
Return pizzas to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Let pizzas cool slightly before slicing each one into 4 pieces.
