The other day I was curious to see how many points a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza would be. SEVENTEEN POINTS!!!!!
No way, totally not worth it. I knew I could easily make my own to satisfy my craving.
So that’s exactly what I did. My Mexican pizza is only 6 points for blue and purple, 9 points for green.

- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning

- 1 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Taco Bell mild sauce (I found this in the Mexican isle at my local grocery store)

Instructions
- Brown the ground turkey in a frying pan. Add the taco seasoning and water and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook 3-4 minutes.
- Put the refried beans in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high for 45 seconds.
- Take one tostada shell and spread 1/2 cup of the refried beans. Add 1/4 of the meat mixture, then top with another tostada shell.
- Place tostada on a baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons of the mild sauce and 1/4 cup of the cheese.
- Make the other tostadas, then broil in the oven until the cheese is melted. Add any extra toppings. Enjoy!
