Questions about Mexican pizza
What is a Mexican pizza?
It is usually a crisp tortilla topped or layered with fillings such as refried beans, seasoned minced beef, salsa and cheese. Despite the name, it is closer to a tostada or a layered tortilla bake than to a traditional Italian pizza.
How do you stop Mexican pizza from going soggy?
Crisp the tortillas in a dry frying pan for 1–2 minutes on each side before adding the toppings. Spread beans and salsa thinly, and bake the assembled pizza at 200 °C just until the cheese melts, about 5–8 minutes.
Which toppings go well on Mexican pizza?
Try refried beans, seasoned beef or shredded chicken, salsa and grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado or a spoonful of sour cream after baking so the fresh toppings stay cool and crisp.
Can you make Mexican pizza without meat?
Yes: use refried beans, black beans or cooked lentils in place of minced meat, then add salsa and cheese. Mash some of the beans and spread them over the tortilla to help hold the other toppings in place.
How should you store and reheat leftover Mexican pizza?
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 180 °C until hot and crisp; a microwave warms it quickly but leaves the tortilla soft.

Mexican pizza has more protein, with 15 g per 100 g, compared with 7.6 g in Turkish pizza. Turkish pizza has more carbohydrate: 33.7 g per 100 g, compared with 13 g in Mexican pizza.
