Here’s a revised version of the Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza recipe with lower points, along with instructions and nutritional information:

Ingredients:

  • 4 small whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup canned vegetarian refried beans
  • 1 cup cooked lean ground turkey (or substitute with plant-based meat)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Cooking spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the tortillas with cooking spray on both sides.
  3. Bake the tortillas in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the vegetarian refried beans over low heat until warmed through.
  5. In another skillet, cook the lean ground turkey (or plant-based meat) until it’s browned and cooked through. Stir in the salsa and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. To assemble the Mexican pizzas, spread a layer of warm refried beans over each crispy tortilla.
  7. Top the beans with the cooked ground turkey (or plant-based meat) and salsa mixture.
  8. Sprinkle shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend over the top of each pizza.
  9. Place the assembled pizzas back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle diced tomatoes, diced green onions, and chopped fresh cilantro over the top.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy!
