Homemade Mexican Pizza (Crowd-Favorite Recipe)

This Homemade Mexican Pizza is truly a keeper—the kind of recipe you make once and then find yourself coming back to again and again. It’s hearty, flavorful, and makes plenty, which is exactly why it’s perfect for company. The combination of crispy baked tortillas, seasoned beef, creamy refried beans, tangy enchilada sauce, melted cheese, and fresh toppings hits every comfort-food note. It’s no surprise guests always ask for the recipe after the first bite.

This version is designed for ease and consistency. Baking the tortillas instead of frying keeps things manageable while still delivering that lightly crisp, golden texture that holds up to all the layers. Each pizza is stacked, baked briefly to melt the cheese, and finished with fresh toppings that add brightness and crunch. It’s casual, satisfying, and ideal for feeding a group without stress.
