Vegan – check out my vegan Mexican Pizza Recipe!
We’re all sad that Taco Bell decided to stop serving their Mexican Pizza but you can easily make it at home! I used to get the Mexican Pizza without beef and just the refried beans at Taco Bell. But now I added some more vegetable fabulousness to this lovely classic because who doesn’t love spinach in their Mexican pizza?! See below for my Tasty Mexican Pizza Recipe.

minutesIngredients
- Beans
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cans refried beans
1/4 white onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small can jalapeños (diced)
1 tsp cumin (I add 2 tsp)
1 tsp cayenne (I add 2 tsp)
salt/pepper (to taste)
- Mexican Pizza
cooking spray
8 medium sized flour tortillas
2 cups red enchilada sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb fresh spinach
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Tajin
1/2 white onion (minced)
2 cups vegan cheddar (dairy cheddar)
2 tbsp green olives (chopped)
2 stalks green onions
1 tomato (diced)
salt/pepper (to taste)
Directions
- Beans
- Preheat your oven to 500 F to broil.
- Chop all of your veggies. In a medium sized pot, heat your olive oil, then add your diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes on medium heat.
- Then add your garlic and spices, sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Add your refried beans and simmer for at least 5 minutes, then add your pickled jalapeños. Season to taste.
- Mexican Pizza
- Get two baking sheets out and spray the cooking spray on both baking sheets. Place half of your tortillas on both baking sheets.
- Top your tortillas with the refried bean mixture, the minced raw onion, then the spinach/garlic mixture. Then top each pizza with the second tortilla.
- Spread a generous amount of enchilada sauce on each tortilla, then add your cheese, top with green olive slices, and put your pizzas in the oven.
- For vegan cheese, broil 4-6 minutes. For dairy cheese, just broil 3-4 minutes.
- After you take them out of the oven and they cool off for 5 minutes, top with your tomatoes and green onions.
Notes
- If you have a red or gold onion, these will work as well.
- For vegan cotija, I like using Follow Your Heart’s feta.
- If you want super hearty Mexican Pizzas, you can also sauté some soy chorizo or vegan beef crumbles.
- If you want more veggies, you can also add some sautéed mushrooms.
- Want more spice? Add more chili powder and jalapeños.
