Tips

If you don’t want to use store-bought taco seasoning you can use my homemade taco seasoning recipe.
To freeze leftovers, do not top with tomatoes and refrigerate instead of cooking in the air fryer.
Be sure to not overcrowd your air fryer basket. You most likely will only be able to cook on Taco Bell Pizza at a time.

Substitutions and Variations For Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

Try using refried black beans instead of the refried beans.
You could also use a different type of cheese such as cheddar or pepper jack.
Ground turkey would work in place of ground beef if you want a healthier swap.
