    On top of spaghetti all covered in cheese, I lost my poor meatball when I had to sneeze. It rolled off of the table and onto the floor and then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.

    I think a kickass potato pancake episode would be cool....

    Might try using Tostadas instead of frying tortillas. They are already fried and might not get soggy as much when baked in the oven.

    Those look yummy. I would suggest putting the enchilada sauce under the top tortilla. As soon as you pour a liquid over the tortilla, it's gonna start to get soggy. You may even want to try a thin layer of cheese on the bottom tortilla before adding the hamburger mixture to form a bit of a barrier between the saucy meat and the bottom tortilla. This won't affect the taste of the Mexican pizza, just keep the tortillas crispier.

    Dude, you crack me up!!! But yeah, good idea to leave the levelers alone while hot oil is smokin'. Now, onto the food! Love pizza, could eat a different kind of pizza every day of the week. This looks really good and I'll be trying it very soon. Thanks for sharing!!!

    Yummy. Ty for sharing. I have to make some of these. I make quesadillas with flour or corn tortillas, no precooking, it just adds extra grease. Fold them in half as they cook. I mix a bit of salsa in the canned refried beans to make them spread easier, and I definitely use sour cream in all my Mexican dishes.

    Can't wait to try this recipe! So when you said 'pizza doesn't have two crusts' it sparked fond memories of Pizza Huts Priazzo, oh how I miss them, maybe you can find a GPT recipe for them...

    Use La Victoria Enchilada Sauce as the main shortcut...and I personally use the Rosarito jalapeno refried beans... Also use pepper jack cheese...

    OMG I totally forgot the spaghetti song “my poor meatball” lol. Dave try adding beef or chicken broth instead of water in your Taco meat. Adds favor without watering down the sauce. Also what no jalapeños.😂 Good recipe!

    Taco Bell stopped putting the green onions on their menu items after a ptomaine scare... That year when I was ringing a bell with the Salvation Army ding-a-ling corps...not knowing that Fox 5 was in the area right behind me... I was stiffed by one of Taco Bell's employees going in and out of the Smith's (Kroger back east)...and I mentioned something to one of the "courtesy clerks" while he was bringing carts in the store that "Hey...Rex...I bet this is the last time Taco Bell does business with Chernobyl Farms!!!"... THEN I noticed someone with a Fox 5 microphone trying to do the weather and failing miserably because he was laughing so hard at my comment that I think he wet himself at least twice... Before I left for home...it was take 49... So much in putting the weather report on that day...
    That was what they got for telling me to act normal...😹😹😹
    But seriously...I thought they were on the other side where I'd be out of earshot... That poor courtesy clerk had to put up with my zingers all day...and with me...a former reactionary improv comic...it got right down impossible to look me in the face without laughing...
    My most memorable incident was my first non-Strip final assignment...again with Rex...was that he "saw a dead pigeon in the parking lot... What do I do???" In my best Jeff Foxworthy impersonation I told Rex to "Notify the deli to far (fire to those of you living in Rio Linda CA) up the rotisserie!!!" Next thing I heard was this huge burst of laughter behind me... It was a store inspector from the home base... He pulled me aside and said "That comment was wrong on so many levels...but it was funnier than hell... Here's a little something for the kettle"... (I saw a $20 bill to in...)
    The inspector and I both retired 15 years later...but mine led to me being in various hospitals for two straight years...and I'm still not cleared to work the kettles due to my back issues...

    Heres an even easier versions of this... Brown hamburger meat, season however you want, drain. Take a cookie sheet and cover in corn or flour tortillas. Spread Prego or Ragu over tortillas. put mushrooms on sauce. Meat on sauce. Cover in 2 or 3 kinds of cheese. I use cheddar and motz. Melt cheese in oven. Done. No time at all and our family loves it. PS....I have something I want to send you. Whats your PO # ?

    I'm not going to be negative here even though you're Mexican tacos could have been 100% better. But I do give you an A for effort and somehow it was still very entertaining. Keep up the good work, videos and keep improving your recipes lol 💯

    I love the pizza, but the last few times I've gotten it was a huge disappointment. It tasted stale! It was so gross. Not to mention, when they first brought them back, they were in nice stable boxes, but now they've gone back yo those crappy boxes that just smash the top of the pizza.
    I dont know why I didn't think to make my own. I've made the crunchwraps. because they have done shrinkflation on those
