HOW TO MAKLE TACO BELL PIZZA
- Prepare the Ground Beef: Before layering the tostada base, cook the ground beef in a pan over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it browns and cooks through. After it is fully cooked, add the taco seasoning as directed to the taco seasoning package for that Taco Bell Mexican pizza recipe taste.
- Layering Your Tostadas: Take the tostadas and place them on a large baking sheet, or two depending on how many you are making. Then, add a layer of refried beans to the surface; add ground beef next.
- Cheese and Bake: Then layer shredded Mexican cheese onto and now place the baking sheet in your oven at 375°F until cheese is melted bubbly and brown!
- Sauce and Toppings: Take the baking sheet out of the oven. Next drizzle enchilada sauce or salsa on top, and add whichever other toppings you would like, such as diced tomatoes, green onions, and olives. Then serve with sour cream if desired.

4. Can I make Taco Bell Mexican pizza vegan?
