Nutrition Modifications for Healthy Mexican Pizza

Low Sodium Mexican Pizza: Make your own taco seasoning and enchilada sauces (see recipe card for links) and omit the salt from the recipes. Replace it with the zest (for the taco seasoning) and juice of one lime (for the enchilada sauce).

Gluten Free Mexican Pizza: Use corn tortillas, and make sure to make your own seasoning (recipe is included above) or get a GF taco seasoning.

Low Carb Mexican Pizza: Look for “Carb Balance” tortillas or corn tortillas.

Vegetarian Mexican Pizza: You can swap out the meat for beyond meat. Or skip it all together.
