Tami’s notes
Notes or special instructions:
- Feel free to customize your pizza any way you wish! You can easily swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. Add your favorite toppings and veggies, and make this one your own.
- If you’re going to meal prep your Mexican Tortilla Pizzas, we recommend re-heating your tortilla and then adding your fresh veggie toppings just before you eat!
