    I have a couple of questions for you today...

    Do you like Mexican?

    Do you like Taco Bell?

    Do you have leftover lentil taco "meat" or leftover ground beef, pork, or chicken?

    If you answered yes to those questions, then you are in luck because I have the perfect recipe for you:

    Mexican Pizza!

    Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza is so delicious... so so delicious. Unfortunately, not many items on a fast food menu can be considered healthy.

    Preparing your own meals can help you eat healthier by controlling the ingredients and having the ability to lower the calories, saturated fat, sodium, etc.

    Side note: Even though my Mexican Pizza is delicious, so is Taco Bell's. And I will certainly still order it on occasion, but I'll be making this homemade Mexican Pizza on repeat until I can make it to Taco Bell.

    • 3 tablespoon pizza sauce
    • ¼ cup chopped tomatoes
    • 4 tablespoon cheese any kind, divided

    Instructions

    • Place tortillas directly on oven racks, and turn oven on to 400°Toast tortillas for 5 minutes in preheating oven. Flip and toast another 3 minutes (be sure the tortillas are not browning too much). Set aside.

    Notes
