This cheesy Instant Pot Mexican pizza is amazing!! With layers and layers of cheese, sauce and ground turkey it’s like a wonderful enchilada lasagna!

This Instant Pot Mexican pizza is an easy Instant Pot recipe we love. Special thanks goes out to Foster Farms for sponsoring this post so we could share this quick meal idea with you. 😉 (originally published 8/17, affiliate links present)

I think we all love layers of meat and cheesy goodness for dinner. This is the ultimate in comfort food cooked in just 4 minutes! That is right!

If you don’t have a pressure cooker I’d highly recommend one. You can cook a traditional meal that normally takes several hours in your crockpot in just 15 minutes flat typically.

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
Then LIKE our IP Facebook page for new ideas daily.
- This is a great InstaPot cookbook and set of wooden utensils are great to grab too.
- I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

Here’s how easy this cheesy Instant Pot Mexican pizza is to make. No wonder it’s on our list of Instant Pot kids recipes!

First you will need a Ninja Foodi, Crockpot Express or Instant Pot to pressure cook. We have a 6 qt. Instant Pot.

A 6″ or 7″ springform pan is necessary too. 6 inch worked great using small corn tortillas.

If your days are non stop dropping off kids, grocery shopping, cleaning, and working, you don’t have a lot of dinner prep time.

My days usually look something like this and I only have under an hour to prep, cook, and serve dinner for five of us.

I’m all about a nutritious meal packed with protein and flavor, this one tops the list at our house!

Mexican Pizza in Instant Pot

Ground Turkey
1. we used Foster Farms brand
2. or lean ground beef
Cheese – we used cheddar and pepper jack
King Size corn tortillas – about 7″ size
Enchilada Sauce – we used medium
Olives
Green Onions
6″ Springform pan
Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker

Optional add ins:

Taco seasoning packet – add in when cooking meat
Can of diced tomatoes – to sprinkle in between the layers
- or add in 1/2 cup with meat when cooking
Refried beans – to add a thin layer when you’re layering

I am telling you this is so good and perfect for two people to split!

It’s all about layering when it comes to a great Instant Pot Mexican pizza, this one is no different.

The two different cheeses give it great flavor. Olives are great on everything and you can choose the heat level for your enchilada sauce.

This recipe below is enough to make two Instant Pot Mexican pizzas. If you only want 1 just cut it in half.

Of course how much cheese, meat, and sauce you want to layer on is totally up.

Oven Mexican pizza directions:

Follow these Mexican pizza casserole directions or:
- Just layer like instructions state below
- cover springform pan with tinfoil
- put in your oven or toaster oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees
- take out when cheese is melted.

Instant Pot Mexican Pizza

Prepare
Brown your ground turkey on the stove or inside your Instant Pot with olive oil on saute setting. Add minced or fresh onion and seasoning salt to taste.

Remove from pot and rinse inside of pot. Shred your cheeses and dice green onion. Pour 1 1/2 c. water into your Instant Pot with a small trivet inside.

Spray the inside of your springform pan with non stick spray.
Layer
In your 6″springform pan start layering your Mexican pizza.
Layer tortilla, cheeses, cooked ground turkey, olives, green onions, enchilada sauce.

Then the same layering continues until you’ve used 4 tortillas and topped the last layer of toppings.
Cook
Cover with tinfoil, put on trivet inside your pot, and close your lid and steam valve. Set Instant Pot to manual, pressure, high, for 4 minutes.

Allow to naturally release steam for 4 minutes, then release rest of steam. Lift out of pot carefully using hot pads.

Place pan on a plate. Unhook side of springform pan and lift outside of pan off. Use a spatula to slide Mexican pizza off bottom of pan.

Pour more enchilada sauce and chives or green onions on top, slice into 3-4 pcs. and serve! (This recipe makes 2 Mexican pizzas so if you only want 1 just cut the recipe in half)
