Homemade Mexican Pizza

Shortcut: If you’re short on time, you can use pre-made pizza dough, store-bought refried beans, or even ready-made salsa. However, making your own pizza dough and refried beans from scratch adds a personal touch and depth of flavor to the final result.
Gluten-free option: For those following a gluten-free diet, consider using a gluten-free pizza dough mix or opting for a cauliflower crust. Ensure that all toppings and seasonings are also gluten-free.
Vegan alternative: To make this recipe vegan-friendly, substitute the cheese with dairy-free alternatives like vegan shredded cheese or cashew-based cheese. Use a plant-based protein spread instead of refried beans. Additionally, you can experiment with adding grilled vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini, to enhance the flavors and textures.
Spice it up: If you prefer an extra kick of heat, consider adding chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or sprinkling crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking. Adjust the spiciness level according to your taste preferences.
Customizable toppings: Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Add cooked ground beef or shredded chicken for a heartier version. Include sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or even a drizzle of lime crema for additional freshness and tanginess.
