Mexican pizza is a pizza-like dish made with ingredients typical of Mexican cuisine. The Mexican pizza is not Mexican in origin, but is actually regionally modified cuisine.
Description
The base is usually a tortilla, made from either corn or flour; salsa or refried beans instead of the marinara sauce found on Italian pizzas; cheese, usually Cheddar or Monterey Jack; and toppings such as spiced beef or jalapeños. Mexican pizzas can also be made from quesadillas after tomato sauce and toppings have been added. These are often referred to as "pizzadillas".
Pizza is sometimes "Mexicanized" by adding Mexican toppings (such as green chiles, chorizo, Mexican cheeses, lettuce, fresh tomatoes, taco sauce, tortilla chips, etc.) to a traditional pizza just before serving.
