Notes
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or even in the same skillet over low heat on the stovetop until warmed through.
I don't recommend freezing leftover Mexican Pizza as it often changes texture once thawed and reheated.
If you want to get ahead on meal prep, you can make the ground beef mixture in advance, then all you need to do is build the pizza and bake.
