Blackstone Mexican Pizza Recipe
I love a good Mexican Pizza. I know there are some Taco Bell haters out there, but I am not one of them. The Mexican Pizzas are legit, but sometimes I want something a little better than what they tend to stuff inside there.
We do so many different delicious taco and burrito fillings around here, and I usually make WAY too much. I love leftovers and so do the resident teenagers in the house, and tacos are always good for leftovers, especially when stuffed inside two crispy corn tortillas and turned into a Mexican Pizza!

How to Make Mexican Pizzas on the Griddle
This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.
1
Preheat
Fire up that griddle and let it get good and hot over medium heat.
2
Prep
The most important part of cooking on the griddle is to make sure you have EVERYTHING at hand. Spatulas, all the prepped ingredients, a tray to bring things back inside on. All. The. Things.
3
Cook
Put down some oil, and place 6 tortillas on the oil. Top with your chosen meat and some of the cheese and beans, and then another tortilla. Cook until browned. Drizzle some more oil on the top tortilla and then flip.
Brown the other side of the pizza and add cheese on top. Cover to let it melt.
4
Add toppings
Top the pizzas with your favorite garnishes.
5
Enjoy
Get munchin’! These crunchy, crispy pizzas are perfect for lunch, dinner, or a late-night snack.

Blackstone Mexican Pizzas FAQ
Can these be made ahead of time?
As with almost anything crunchy, these are best served right after cooking to maintain that good crunch. You can prep the meat and all the ingredients ahead of time, though! These are perfect to make if you have leftover taco meat.
What’s the best way to store and reheat leftovers?
If you do wind up making a couple of extras, or your eyes are just a little bigger than your stomach, you can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days, and reheat them in the air fryer or the oven.
Can you use flour tortillas instead of corn?
You can, but you won’t get the crunchy crunch you’re after. But I’m not the boss of you, so if you want to make a glorified quesadilla, you do you! 😉
