• 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!

This is what you will need to make our easy Instant Pot Mexican Pizza:

1. Ground Turkey 
   1. we used Foster Farms brand
   2. or lean ground beef
2. Cheese – we used cheddar and pepper jack
3. King Size corn tortillas – about 7″ size
4. Enchilada Sauce – we used medium
5. Olives
6. Green Onions
7. 6″ Springform pan
8. 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.
