Air Fryer Mexican Pizza

I’m not going to lie. This Mexican Pizza is one of the most delicious things I’ve made in my air fryer in a LONG TIME. 

Have you ever had the Mexican pizza from Taco Bell? They had it on their menu about 8 years ago and I’m not sure if it is still on there. It was two soft tortillas with beans and ground beef in the middle. The tortillas got grilled on each side and on the top was a layer of hot sauce, cheese, tomatoes, and green onions. It was SO good and it is SO easy to make at home. Very easy to adapt to make WW friendly.  

Taco meat is something I like to make a whole batch of and keep it in the fridge to use for taco salad, nachos, or tacos throughout the week. 

What do I need to make Mexican Pizzas?

2 1 point tortillas such as La Banderita 

1 pound 96% lean ground beef 

1 15 oz can Fat-Free Refried Beans 

1 oz low sodium Taco seasoning

2 tablespoons of hot Sauce or Enchilada Sauce 

1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheese 

Tomatoes and Scallions 

How to Air Fryer Mexican Pizzas 

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef until brown and no longer pink. Add taco seasoning packet and water to the pan. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes. 

Spread ¼ cup of beans on to one tortilla. Evenly spread the taco seasoned ground beef on top of the refried beans and place the other tortilla on top to secure. 

Set your air fryer to 400 degrees. 

Carefully place the pizza in the air fryer basket and set the timer for 5 minutes. The top of the tortilla might fly around in the air fryer so make sure to put a wire rack on top of the tortilla to stop it from doing that. 

After the 5 minutes is up, open up the basket. Place the sauce on top of the tortilla and cheese and cook for 2 more minutes or until the cheese is melted. 

Top with scallions and diced tomatoes. 

Number of servings

This whole entire pizza is 7 points for 1 serving and it is very filling and great.

Tips for Mexican Pizza 

If you don’t like enchilada sauce, there are other sauce options for the top. Try your favorite hot sauce or your favorite salsa. 

Most of this stuff can be easily found in the authentic aisle at your grocery store. My store has refried beans, enchilada sauce, hot sauce, and the tortillas all in one area. 

I just love the 96% lean ground beef from Aldi. You can also find it at Wal-mart or check your meat department.  I probably get 1 pound of it every week just for making tacos, taco salad, and nachos. It’s better than Fat-Free ground turkey for sure but you can always use that too if you want to lower the points more.
