Mexican Pizza

 I've not ever had Mexican pizza in this sense. The author of this blog likens this to the Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell. I've definitely not had that, so I can't compare. 

This recipe has a bit of prep before you can put everything together. So you will need to plan so you have all your components cooked so you can put the pizza together. 

Overall it was tasty, but I think I'd stick to just tostadas - they're just simpler. This was a bit of a mess to eat.

Also I couldn't find taco sauce, so I used enchilada sauce. And I added a half of can of green chilis in with the meat because I had some left over.
