Mexican Pizza Recipe

My kids would be content to eat bean and cheese quesadillas for lunch every day, but while Mexican is very nearly my favorite cuisine, momma needs a little more variety in her diet, so I like to mix things up a bit. 

This Mexican Pizza Recipe is perfect for an easy lunch. My kids love it!

Most recently, that variety has been in the form of Mexican pizza. Similar in many ways, but more efficient to prepare, cheaper, since I’m able to get away with using less cheese without the kids noticing, and not to mention, prettier. 😉

This recipe, using packaged corn tortillas, gets filed in my “super easy lunches” category (the one in my brain), but using your own thicker, softer, heartier, homemade corn tortillas takes it into family dinner territory. 

One of the reasons I love recipes like this Mexican Pizza, is that it’s a pretty decent balance of nutrition all by itself, with carbs in the tortillas, beans, and cheese, protein in the meat, beans, and cheese, and veggies on top, but if I was making a dinner out of it with sides, I’d probably make guacamole, Mexican rice, and if serving tortilla chips on the side, salsa. That would be a feast!
