Mexican Style Pizza Recipe
Step aside, Taco Tuesday … it’s Mexican pizza night!
If you’re looking for a low-carb Mexican-style pizza recipe, you’ve come to the right place!
This pizza features Outer Aisle’s jalapeño cauliflower crust, 3-cheese Mexican blend, fresh bell peppers and onions, grilled chicken and a few of your favorite Mexican toppings (salsa and sour cream, anyone?).
My favorite part is that this Mexican-style pizza recipe is simple to make and you can have dinner on the table in about 20 minutes. Pair it with a side of seasoned cauliflower rice, and you’ve got one low-carb, healthy dinner!
Pro Tip: Substitute sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. You might not even be able to tell the difference and you’ll get more protein and less fat!

Comin’ right up!
I love placing the salsa and “sour cream” aka yogurt on top because heating up salsa just doesn’t seem right. But you could make it a sauce and put it below the cheese if you so desire.
Want to make this Mexican-style pizza recipe vegetarian? Easy! Just skip the chicken and load up on more veggies!
Let me know if you try this low-carb Mexican pizza recipe and how it turns out for you. The next time we make this, I think we’ll try incorporating different vegetables, perhaps some squash and corn and maybe even top it with some avocado!
