Homemade Mexican Pizza

If you happen to have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, it’s best to use the oven or toaster oven to maintain the crispness of the crust. Simply preheat to 350°F (175°C) and warm the pizza for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the crust soggy.

Margaritas: Pair your Mexican Pizza with classic lime margaritas or refreshing agua frescas like watermelon, pineapple, or cucumber-lime. These drinks perfectly complement the spicy and savory flavors of the pizza.
