If you’ve never had a Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell then you are missing out. They’re absolutely delicious, which is exactly why I decided to put a healthier spin on these. Are you ready to try a Healthy Mexican Pizza that low in carbs and fats but not in flavor? This recipe is right up your alley then.

I used Joseph’s Pita instead of tortillas to make a lower carb version and I’m pretty impressed with how they turned out. I took kitchen shears and cut around the edge of the pita to split it open and make two “tortillas.”

Next, lightly spray pitas with cooking spray, lay flat on baking sheet, and bake for 7-8 minutes at 400° flipping halfway through. Now comes the fun part! Assemble your Healthy Mexican Pizza with a layer of beans topped with ground meat.

Next, you’ll put the second pita on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Put the Healthy Mexican Pizza base back in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Bake until cheese is melted, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Take them out of the oven, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
