Mexican pizza takes no culinary skill

Possibly the best feature of this Taco Tuesday recipe, aside from the delicious taste, is the ease of assembly. If you want to have kids make dinner one night, Mexican Pizza is the recipe to pick!

Start with a basic pizza shell. Raw pizza dough doesn’t seem to hold up to the weight of toppings as well as a shell. Our choice is gluten-free but you can use any pizza shell that suites your taste.

With a little drizzle of olive oil, coat the shell and pop it in the oven to pre-cook for about 4 minutes. We like to use a pre-seasoned pizza screen so the crust gets crisp.

Transfer the pre-cooked shell back to a large cutting board to start assembling the toppings.

The first layer is cream cheese. A quick hack to make this easier is to leave the cream cheese out to soften to room temperature or just pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds. This will make it spread like icing. Get it all over the crust leaving just a slim rim around the perimeter of the shell.

Next up comes half of the packet of taco seasoning. If you have a large container as shown then just sprinkle enough to cover the entire layer of cream cheese.

Then you’ll drain the three cans of black beans, Mexicorn, and Rotel tomatoes and spread them evenly over the shell.

Next comes more taco seasoning. Either use up the rest of the packet or, if using a large container, sprinkle heavily across entire pizza.

At this point you can also add shredded chicken if you like.

Shred the cheese and sprinkle over the entire pizza. We’re almost there!

Transfer back to the pizza screen and cook at 425º for approximately 8 minutes or until the edges are golden and cheese is bubbling.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes to cool before cooking. Cut into 8 slices and serve. Delicious!
