Recipe
---------------------
Step 1: Make the beef
Ingredients
* 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
* 16 ounces 80/20 ground beef
* 1 tsp salt
* Oatmeal
* 1 tsp Chicken bouillon
* 1 Tbsp Hot sauce
* 1 tsp Cumin
* ⅛ tsp Black pepper
* ½ tsp Onion
* ½ tsp Garlic
* ½ tsp Paprika
* 1 tsp Chili powder
* Salt
* ¼ tsp Cocoa powder
* Water
* Premade beef
1) Heat a large non-stick skillet on high heat. Add your vegetable oil, and when it starts smoking, add your ground beef. Sautee for a few minutes until fully cooked, breaking up with a wooden spoon, then add all the rest of your ingredients, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
2) Transfer to a food processor and pulse, 10 or 12 times, until meat is very finely broken up. If too much liquid remains in the beef mixture, then add back into the hot pan and stir until desired consistency is reached.
Equipment
* Large saucier skillet
* Wooden spoon
* Food processor
* Silspat
Step 2: Make the sauce
Ingredients
* Vegetable oil
* Diced tomatoes
* Diced green chilies
* Tomato Paste
* Water
* Salt
* Sugar
* Onion powder
* Garlic Powder
* Cumin
* Chili powder
* Corn starch
* Water
* Vegetable oil
* Premade sauce
1) Heat vegetable oil in a medium sauce pan and add diced tomatoes and green chilies. Sautee for a few minutes, until the tomatoes start to break down, then add the rest of your ingredients, excluding the corn starch.
2) Transfer ingredients to a blender, and puree until smooth. Add back into the pot on medium heat, then add cornstarch and continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Equipment
* Medium saucepan
* Vitamix
* Silicone spatula
Step 3: Assemble
Ingredients
* 2 hybrid corn and flour tortillas
* ½ cup vegetable oil
* 1 bowl refried beans (from a can)
* 1 bowl beef
* 1 bowl sauce
* 1 bowl shredded cheddar + jack cheese
* 1 bowl diced tomatoes
1) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil on medium high heat in a small sautee pan. 2) Fry tortillas for about 2 minutes on each side, until crispy but not overly browned. If the tortillas do not get crispy immediately in the oil, throw them in the oven for about 15 minutes.
3) Lay one crispy tortilla on a baking sheet. Add a schmear of beans and a schmear of beef. Top it with another crispy tortilla, then layer on sauce, and cheese and bake for 6 or 7 minutes, just until the cheese is melty. Add fresh tomatoes, slice, and enjoy.
Equipment
* Small saucepan
* Small baking sheet
* 3 spoons
* Metal spatula

Really excited for josh’s pop up restaurant where he sells discontinued Taco Bell items with slightly different names
-
Mexican pizza was neither pizza nor truly Mexican but it made a place in my heart. RIP old friend
-
The Mexican Pizza was literally the only thing I bought from Taco Bell.
-
That pizza was the ONLY item that didn't taste like everything else on the menu. Shame on them.
-
The death of the Mexican Pizza.. Just another 2020 tragedy. RIP old friend.
-
Josh is going to the the one dad that actually means it when he says “we have taco bell at home”
-
Most relatable part of the episode was not Josh's deep love for the mexican pizza, but when he went, "Ah crap, my hips popped."
-
I will miss Mexican pizza.... I already miss the version of my childhood with olives, green onions, and sour cream..... Taco Bell has lost its way.
-
I have learned don't label something as a favorite on the taco bell app, because every single item I have ever listed has been removed.
-
I'm so thrilled the Mexican Pizza is finally getting the attention it deserves. It might seem strange compared to the rest, but it is a menu item that has stood the test, the test of time to fill our stomachs and make us happy
-
“Like Lazurus the Mexican pizza has been risen from the dead” favorite line
-
This video both warms my heart and breaks it all at the same time. I had no idea they discontinued it! I was a manager at a Taco Bell in Denver Colorado for a few years and the Mexican Pizza was my favorite thing to eat on break. I would make it for myself and if you put a thin layer of nacho cheese on top with the sauce, cheese and tomato and then take a few packs of fire sauce and drip over the top.... so good. Assembling a perfect ratio Mexican Pizza is a skill that few have achieved, but those who have experienced it know it is one of the best items that Taco Bell ever had. RIP Mexican Pizza. Taco Bell gives 0 f's. They have always introduced great menu items and then snatch them away. But to kill off such an old staple is just tragic and unforgivable.
-
👀 A friend of mine is devastated by the Mexican pizza being discontinued... He said, and I quote "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined," so this recipe will come in handy to console him... 💪
-
I feel like a collab with Julien Solomita and Josh would be perfect. Tornados in the kitchen!
-
"make sure the sour cream isnt all at one end of the burrito" god, that's relatable. Josh truly is all of us. That hit me way too hard in the feels.
-
“Beef me up Scotty” is 100% my new weight lifting catch phrase
-
I'll never go to tacobell again. I literally got a Mexican pizza everytime I went.
-
"We wouldn't have Skrillex without Caspa and Rusko" 😂😂😂
-
Josh: is that what bagpipes sound like? Me: No honey, that's a drunken kazoo
-
35 years ago I was in high school and working at Taco Bell when the Mexican Pizza came out. Fun note: At the beginning it was called "Pizzazz Pizza".
