  1. Cilantro is disgusting to many people. It tastes like dish soap. They should list it as optional. Otherwise is looks good.

    1. That’s totally up to you and it could easily be omitted. Interesting how flavor preferences work, cilantro is one of my favorites! Thanks Mark.

  2. I do a similar thing for the sauce except I use salsa and beans together. We also will crumble tortilla chips on top so I is almost like eating a taco. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Oh my goodness this looks absolutely fantastic! I love how unique it is! Plus combining two of my favorite comfort foods! And with a healthy twist! Brilliant! -client

  4. This looks really good. I have never had a Mexican style pizza but after reading this I am going to give it a try. It also seems easy and I like easy. Plus I love pizza so I think this will be a nice change.
