Mexican Chicken Pizza
We love making Mexican-inspired dishes at home, and one of my favorites is our play on the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza. They are easy, delicious, and can be customized according to your own tastes and preferences.
I usually use whatever my current favorite Mexican BBQ rub is, but if you don't have one laying around a good homemade option would be to use my homemade taco seasoning on the chicken. Just omit the masa from the mix because we don't need a thickener for this recipe.

Recipe Shopping List
Wondering if you have to hit the store? Here's the list of items you'll need to make this recipe. For specific amounts, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Corn Tortillas – You can use flour if that's what you have, but it won't be as crispy as corn. I really like using the raw corn tortillas they have available in some grocery stores now.
- Avocado Oil – My favorite oil! High smoke point, and a better alternative to seed oils.
- Chicken Breasts – Cut the chicken breasts into strips, and then into bite-sized chunks.
- Mexican Rub – Whatever kind is in your pantry will do!
- Black Beans – Drain the beans well before adding to the griddle. If you don't have black beans, pinto works, too. You can use the seasoned kind, if you prefer, or just toss some Mexican seasoning onto them while you're cooking.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese – Mexican blend is what I usually use, but any kind of cheddar works well, too!
- Salsa – I prefer verde salsa, but whatever your favorite is works well!
- Sour Cream – Or crema. Whatever you have available. A mix of sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro would also be amazing.
- Cilantro – For garnish. Feel free to omit if you have haters in the house.

Recipe FAQ
Yes, but it won't be as good as if you eat it fresh off the griddle. The fun part about Mexican Pizza is the crunch, and you'll lose some of that if you cook and then reheat.
Yes! These pizzas are so versatile. Add in some grilled jalapenos. Use steak or ground beef instead of chicken. You can even use leftover shredded beef or pork, too. Add whatever toppings you prefer and really make these your own!
