Mexican Pizza Recipe

When deciding on a Mexican pizza recipe, I thought of three main variations: a traditional Mexican pizza (like you would find in a Mexican pizza shop), an authentic taco pizza, and an American taco pizza. All three are wonderful in their own way.

Traditional Mexican Pizza

Having lived in Mexico for two year I can tell you that a true traditional pizza from Mexico might seem a little weird to us here in the USA. Yet, their pizza is still quite tasty! It is fairly common to top their pizza with sliced hot dogs, jalapeños, onions, and tomatoes. Then they put Mexican ketchup (a sweeter, more liquid version than ours) on top after it is cooked. If this is the type of Mexican pizza you are looking for, just follow my generic directions for making a pizza and include these traditional toppings.

Authentic Taco Pizza

This is for those of you who love Mexican taco stands (I love them!). When I was typing up the American taco pizza recipe (below) I was inspired to create this authentic taco pizza.

Ingredients:

pizza dough
traditional taco meat, chopped (Carne Asada, Adobada, Al Pastor, etc.)
sliced jalapeños
chopped onions
chopped cilantro
mozzarella cheese (or a Mexican Cheese such as Queso Oaxaca)
salsa

Directions:

Top dough with a generous amount of taco meat. Sprinkle with jalapeños, onions, and cilantro. Top with cheese.

Bake according to crust directions.

Top with a good fresh salsa.

American Taco Pizza

This tasty Mexican pizza recipe is a mix between an American taco and a pizza. The results are wonderfully delicious. The cool crisp lettuce and tomatoes on top contrast the soft baked crust and you know that taco pizza was meant to be.

Ingredients:

pizza dough
hamburger or chicken cubes
taco seasoning
sliced tomatoes
shredded lettuce
grated cheese
ranch dressing (optional)
salsa(optional)

Directions:

Pan fry chicken or hamburger.

Tip: To pan fry, simply place raw meat in a frying pan on medium heat (if you are doing chicken add a little oil so it doesn't stick). Stir every couple of minutes to cook all sides.

Make your favorite pizza dough recipe.

Put chicken or hamburger on pizza dough and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook in oven according to dough directions.

When finished cooking, top with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, Ranch, and salsa.

Enjoy!
