Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

🌮 Copycat “Mexican Pizza” Tostadas

A lightened-up version of the classic, using lean turkey and high-protein beans.

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Yields: 4 Double-Stacked Pizzas

🛒 Ingredients

• 1/2 lb 99% fat-free ground turkey breast

• 2 tsp taco seasoning

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 cup fat-free refried beans

• 1 cup reduced-fat Mexican cheese, shredded

• 1/2 cup Taco Bell Mild Sauce (or your favorite taco sauce)

• 8 tostada shells

• Optional Toppings: Chopped tomatoes, green onions, fat-free sour cream, sliced olives.

🥣 Instructions

1. Cook the Meat: Brown the ground turkey in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the meat is well-coated.

2. Warm the Beans: Place the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 45 seconds to make them easy to spread.

3. Assemble the Base: Lay 4 tostada shells on a baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans on each, then top with a portion of the seasoned turkey.

4. Stack: Place a second tostada shell on top of the meat layer (making a “sandwich”).

5. Top it Off: Spread 2 tablespoons of mild sauce over the top shell and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.

6. Melt: Place under the oven broiler for 1–2 minutes, or just until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and add your fresh toppings like tomatoes and green onions.
