Hiya! I have taken some time off over here in blog land. I’ve been busy working on other projects but I am missing food photography and food blogging! When I first began this food blog journey a couple of years ago I pretty much knew nothing other than what I liked to eat and then actually eating it. Over time (and I’m still learning) I have developed my style and I enjoy sharing recipes and silly blurbs about myself, or my day, for you magical readers.
Not much has changed over the last couple of months- I love cooking but still hate doing the dishes. Any takers? Any-who thanks to you readers I am motivated to keep things alive and well over here at Tabitha Talks Food.
Thanks so much for your support!
We knew it wouldn’t be too long before I had to post Mexican food here on the blog. I think I could probably eat Mexican food every day. I think I had it three times last week, and I will probably have it again tonight. There’s so much variety!
Tacos definitely are at the top of that list.
But.
Instead of making something similar to these BBQ Chicken Tacos or these Salmon BLT Tacos, I decided I would make something a little more on the traditional route. Just a little. If you haven’t already tried Mexican Pizza, today is your lucky day!
This Mexican Pizza is made with two flour tortillas, stuffed with a beef and bean mixture and then topped with enchilada sauce, cheese, and tomatoes. It might remind you of a fast food taco restaurant that you may be familiar with, but I assure you that you can make Mexican Pizza right at home!
I’m always looking for ways to enjoy my favorite friends- tortillas and cheese. Enjoy this Mexican Pizza recipe and see ya soon!
