Spread 2-3 tablespoons of refried beans on one tostada shell.
Add 1/4 cup of seasoned beef on top of the beans to completely cover the tostada.
Combine salsa and hot sauce in a separate bowl.
Place another tostada shell on top of the layer of taco meat.
Spoon a tablespoon of the salsa mixture over the second tostada shell.
Generously top with shredded cheese before placing in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 350℉ degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes in the air fryer.
Garnish the cooked Mexican pizza with diced Roma tomatoes or your favorite taco toppings before serving.

Seasoning: If you don’t want to use store-bought taco seasoning you can use my homemade taco seasoning recipe.
Spread them out: 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.
Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add olives, jalapenos, or even a dollop of sour cream on top for added flavor and texture.
Cheese Varieties: Mixing different types of cheese, such as a blend of mozzarella and cheddar, can elevate the flavor.
Prep Ahead: You can prepare the taco meat and refried beans in advance to save time on cooking day.
Adjust the Spice Level: Customize the spiciness of your Mexican pizza by choosing mild, medium, or hot salsa according to your preference.
Use Fresh Ingredients for Garnishing: Fresh green onions, cilantro, or even avocado slices add a refreshing contrast to the hearty base.
Ensure Even Cooking: For a uniformly crispy crust, ensure that the tostadas are not overlapped in the air fryer.
