Healthy Mexican Pizza Recipe
OMG y’all!!! When I was growing up, Mexican pizza from Taco Bell was one of my favorite meals! But then I had to give up gluten, and Taco Bell decided without my business, they couldn’t keep the Mexican pizza on the menu anymore…kidding! But in all seriousness, not being able to order a Mexican Pizza has sucked, so I decided to create my own…and I freaking nailed it!!! My hubby says this is one of his new faves, so I’ll be making it a lot from now on!
