At my house it’s no easy task to make something for dinner that’s healthy, satisfying, and that all four of us love. When I do hit upon those recipes, it’s like striking the jackpot. I consider this delicious loaded Mexican pizza the jackpot of all dinners. When I served this a couple of nights ago, my two boys were super excited when I told them dinner was going to be a combination of a taco and a pizza—two of their favorite meals. Loaded with nutritious ingredients that just happen to be my kids’ favorites, this pizza is also quick and easy, making it ideal for busy school nights.

While I’ve tailored this to what my family loves, feel free to switch things out for your own favorites. If you prefer beef to chicken, use it. If you like tomatoes better than bell peppers, use them. I think you get it. Enjoy!
