Tostada Pizza
Tostada Pizza is an easy to make weeknight meal that’s a total fusion of Taco Tuesday and Pizza Day! It’s a wonderful to make for family and friends!
Pizza is on of my all time, I could basically eat it just about every day foods. Seriously, what ‘s not to love? A flavorful thin or thick chewy crust topped with anything you can imagine! Red sauce, mozzarella, and basil. Gyro meat and feta cheese. Alfredo sauce and bacon. OMG they’re SO good! So with cinco de mayo around the corner, today I’m giving my pizza Mexican-ish twist!
