Mexican Pizza Preparation Instructions

Prepare the Meat

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or chicken until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Fry the Tortillas

In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Pizza

On each fried tortilla, spread a layer of red chile sauce followed by green chile sauce. Top with the cooked meat and evenly sprinkle the three types of cheese.

Melt the Cheese

Place the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet and put them under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Add Toppings

Remove from the oven and add optional toppings such as sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro if desired.

Serve

Slice the Mexican pizzas into wedges and serve immediately.
