Seriously. This cowboy’s WAY better than that guy who calls himself papa 😂
They are all doing a job to feed folks, and I tip my hat to them
@@CapnCody1622 joshua got nothing on cowboy kent, he was so disrespectful
@@CapnCody1622hey Joshua Weissman is also like 40 years younger give him some time
I will be Honest to Say Taco Bell is Not Mexican Food. I do use Their regular ingredients for additions, but they are Way cheaper than just Doing it Yourself. Bottom line it's for Lazy people who don't want to Bother in the Kitchen.
My best takeaway was Cowboy Kent adding Butter, with Sour Cream and a little Taco seasoning to the can of Refried beans...👍 I will definitely be trying that simple mix.!!!
This guy is a national treasure, let's protect him at all costs , 👍🏼
YOU are also a national treasure. The greatest treasure of our nation is our fellow citizens, and their freedom to live, make, and express their God given creativity
Same!
Yeah that's a original comment...

The consideration Kent shows to Taco Bell franchisers is impressive. He takes the high road.
His tribute to our veterans has always hit me in "my feels". This couple is my favorite daily dose of happy.
One of my favourite parts of the channel is the way Kent treats the people at those fast food places. Always a perfect gentleman.
"You may know the character of any man by the manner in which he treats those who can do nothing for him."
I just love this as a Hispanic American serving in our US Army, from Silver City NM. Thank you so much for what you create!!! Delicious!
I’m about to go into Taco Bell-esque mode. Thanks for the idea. Your Mexican Pizza looks awesome. I love how much care you show for other Americans. You are such a delightful person to have found on here. Your wife must be mega proud!
Thanks so much, we love what we do and appreciate you watching
Haha, thanks! She’s in heaven now, but she was an angel in my life. I love to see pretty kitty faces in people’s pictures. They’re the most innocent little precious things ever. Your kitty looks like a little person of great honor. I like how it looks up like it’s ready to fill your heart with love no matter what!
Here in Mexico we do have a "Mexican pizza" variation/especialty, which actually has very similar ingredients: a bean sauce instead of tomato, cheese, Mexican chorizo, pickled jalapeños and bacon, more or less depending on the region3
That must have been good , you even busted a move 😂😍🤩
So good it was
This is my wife’s favorite thing from there… can’t wait to make it for her now!
Hope yall enjoy
TB has been shrinking their portions for years now. The Mexican Pizza really did used to be awesome, but they started lowering the quality, then took it off the menu and only recently brought it back, but it's in the form you found it. They did the same thing with the Enchirito also.
I loved enchiritos. My favorite thing to order.
Every fast food restaurant has shrunk all there food
@@michaellefort6128 You can make those at home with frozen beef & bean burritos covered in red enchilada sauce, melted cheese, onions and olives.
I never would’ve thought to dust the flour tortillas with masa prior to frying. Thanks Mr Rollins & Shan and all the supporting doggies for that idea. Love your channel. Fan for life. 👍
And, then, after a great video presentation, the out-takes at the end are like the dessert after the entree! Thanks again! 🙏🙏
You are very welcome
Oh yeah! This is gonna be so,much better than Taco Bell. Gonna make this on the weekend, Thanks Kent for your awesome channel. Thanks to Shan top.
We appreciate you watching
Holy moly that version of the taco bell pizza that you made kent looked absolutely scrumptious and the maj popping his head up at the beginning of the video to say hi was sweet and funny. Enjoy the rest of your week guys ❤️🙏
Hope you have a blessed week as well
The Mexican Pizza is the only reason I go to Taco Bell. They took it off their menu a little while ago and brough it back. 🤣
alright, my friend. you've got yourself a new subscriber. I'm a born and bred "city gal", as the country guys i pal around with like to remind me, but i love the way you speak, the way you approach things, the things you teach us -- and most of all, i love your attitude. I cant wait to try this at home!
Thanks for the sub! and we hope you enjoy
The most politest way of putting down Taco Bell and more specifically their Mexican Pizza I have ever seen. Absolute truth. Didn’t even comment on the absurd price. He didn’t just hold back punches, he held back shotgun blasts.
I think I'm in love with you and that Taco pizza you just made!!! lol...OMG that looks delicious!! I am for sure makin that sometime soon!! Thanks Kent for your great channel!! 🥰🙃
Hope you enjoy
Do the nacho fries please❤
I just made this again for my daughters, one of whom is a senior food scientist for a major flavors company. She gave it a 10 out of 10 and wouldn’t change a thing. It’s not that she is my daughter and doesn’t want to hurt my feelings. If she didn’t like it, she would hit me squarely between the eyes. Both of them really enjoyed the recipe. Thanks!
TB mexican pizza. 1977 Yay! Now, 64 yrs old.I make my own everything. Tomorrow.
I love me some Mexican Pizza, Homemade Style! I've got some Fajitas, Rice and Refried Beans with Pico de Gallo for my lunch Today! I'm sitting here in my Easy Chair enjoying watching y'all... Thank You Kent, Shannon, & Pups! God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸😁
Your welcome and God bless you
@@CowboyKentRollins You're*
Top it with a Pico de Gallo. Even better.
But still add the slices of jalapeños on top.
I had a Mexican pizza at a Mexican restaurant and it was awesome 👍. It made two meals, and I had Mexican pizza for breakfast.
Thank You for showing me how to make them.
Our pleasure
Big hugs and a salute back at ya, my dears, from an Air Force vet, 1967 through 1970.
Kent- thank you my long lost Brother from a different mother. God Bless y'all over there.
Taco Bell is my go to for special dates. Like anniversary. My wife does not agree. I’ll give this a try on my griddle…
Hope yall enjoy
That’s delicious. I would use Rotella tomatoes with chilies instead of regular tomatoes 😊
I had the same idea and put the Rotel tomato’s under the cheese on top. I also used some of the juice in the beans.
I have never seen a CZcamsr with more than 1M subs who actually goes out of their way to read and respond to comments. Cowboy Kent is a national treasure.
I made this for my family this weekend and even my Texan wife raised an eyebrow in respect at how good this came out. Wow! Every element was individually like a better version of the Taco Bell ingredient, whether it was the tortillas or beans or sauce or meat.
Did we just become best friends 😂 looks amazing. God bless
And God bless you
Thanks for this Wisconsin call out sir. Loving your cookbook, helped me make a lot of good meals
So glad your enjoying
One little tip to keeping the tortillas from bubbling up, but staying crispy... Poke holes in it with toothpicks or the tip of a knife. Otherwise Great Video & Recipe 😊
Sir, I'm in tears for watching this video. This is one of my favorite dishes that you have improved. Oh I can't wait to make this dinner. Thanks for a great video.
We hope you enjoy
Great video . The key to taco bell is the mild sauce.
Looks delicious!! Thank you Shan and Kent for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
And you as well
My wife loves the Mexican pizza from Taco Bell, but she loved this recipe more. I made a couple of changes. I got a can of Rotel tomatoes and used some of the juice in the beans and did a layer of the tomatoes before adding the cheese on top. I also used sliced black olives and some fresh cilantro . The sour cream and butter made a big difference in the beans. One pizza was very filling.
Cowboy Kent Is A National Treasure!! Thank You Good Sir. God Bless You.
Im a real Mexican and i have no problem in saying: this man improves any Mexican dish he cooks. Im sharing this video to my wife, i hope she makes me this dish instead a sandwitch😅
Yes!!! So Much Better! And the Flavor will be amazing when I make this over the weekend! I just love your recipes! This one is so dang simple . Those TB pizzas are so over priced! I remember when they also had chopped green onions on top.thank you so much!!
We hope you enjoy
Wisconsin here! I intend to make my own Mexican pizza from now on thanks to Cowboy Kent!
Hope you enjoy
.....when I saw this, I IMMEDIATELY clicked on it ! Can't wait to see this, Mr. Kent and Miss Shannon! Mmmm mmmm. ...I bet its gonna be ABSOLUTELY 💯 % a great " Re- make " of that Mexican Pizza ..... !
We appreciate you watching
I actually like the crispier tortillas.
I made them with the packaged flour tortillas and they were just too thick and not crispy enough for me.
To me the crisp is what sets itself apart.
So to try and get a crispier flour tortilla, I ended up buying the raw store bought flour tortillas and just rolled them a little thinner and fried that and they came out great.
Have also made them with homemade flour tortillas rolled nice and thin, and that gave me a good crispy tortilla too.
Nice video! I do agree with you on the size needing to be bigger. =)
Thanks for sharing
I like how you give credit to the musicians whose performances you use. Way to go! I really like the recipes, too.
The Stargazer series of cast iron pans are fantastic. Kent my friend, you are a national treasure.
Former TB employee here. The sauce they use on the pizza is enchilada sauce/red sauce. I absolutely agree ingredients need to be spread out.
They took that off the menu years ago and brought it back. That used to have green onions, olives and sour cream on it, but they got rid of that stuff. Cheap bastards. Corn tostada shells not flour. I won't eat taco bell anymore so I don't know what the heck they have now. I just know that they used to really deck that thing out. Cost like 2 bucks. I think its more like 5 bucks with less stuff on it.
My goodness! You had me at taco pizza! Kent, you out did yourself! I'm definitely going to make this. God bless yall! From East Texas.
And God bless you as well
Shannon's laugh is so authentic. nice video...
I love to hear it
Ex Taco Bell employee here. Your Mexican pizza looks amazing!
Being a former TB employee (from 1994-96 I have made my fair share of Mexican pizzas! I'm embarrassed for TB and what they served you! But my friend you definitely showed them up with your pizza! I was salivating watching you cook haha
Back in the day, they do it better, it also had black olives.
My favorite thing at Taco Bell made better! Thank you Cowboy Kent!
Fast Food. You get what you pay for. In my opinion, it's best to remake any fast food creation at home with better quality ingredients. You my friend did a great job. God Bless!!!! I watch you and Sam the Cooking Guy plenty. My 2 favorite CZcamsrs.
I cried when Taco Bell stopped selling the Mexican Pizzas a few years back - I was pregnant and the only happiness was Taco Bell XD
I wish I would have had this video back then!
Looks so good! I love Mexican pizza!
Me too! 👍
You’ve definitely made some good looking tasty food there. I’ve eaten a lot of those Mexican pizzas and for those folks that don’t know, the Mexican pizza was discoed for a while. They brought it back recently and it was never quite the same as it was before. They’re now smaller, and they have less fillings, and they are very expensive for what you’re getting. … However, I really do like their light and flaky flour tortilla shell. The pizza tomato sauce is good enough for mild tastes and it’s not intended to be too spicy. The taco sauce that they carry in the little packets is pretty much the same as it’s always been, except the “Diablo“ flavor is the hottest one. You should try that the next time you go and ask for Diablo packets. Because, it’s very good and hot. … Now, Mr. Rollins, you may want to go down to Jack In The Box and get some of their 2 for a dollar tacos and smother it with the taco sauce that they have in the little packets. That taco sauce is my favorite. I wish they bottled it. …Your next video?
As a Taco Bell fan, I can attest to this. The Mexican pizza 2.0 is not as good as the original. Also @Deanna Walsh They do bottle all of their sauces, including the Diablo (though I've found it to be the hardest to find in the wild. Target online got ya covered for $1.99). I keep a Fire on deck at all times when I need me a mild hot sauce and I'm not looking to go for one of my "regret level" ghost pepper hot sauces. Also, they bottle all of their cream based sauces, too, like the Baja and the Chipotle. I highly recommend those on pretty much any home tex mex.
I am glad that you are continuing re-inventing fast food items at home. Good idea. Not everyone can afford to eat out at a restaurant but perhaps everyone can afford to spend time together as friends/family using/making the food creation recipes you come up with.
Keep on cooking! 😊👍 Best wishes to you, your wife and all your doggies. Keep the cooking videos coming 😊
Will do, we thank you for watching
Oh goodness! That looks soo effin good! 😍
It was so good
Always a pleasure dropping in. Kent you are the cooking dancing machine... Love your content.
We appreciate you watching
Taco Bell has some of the greatest food creations on the menu. I’m going to petition to bring back the mexi melt
I hope one day whenever a foreigner thinks of an American, they think of our man Cowboy Kent Rollins! Wholesome, respectful, and a damn good cook!
Mexican Pizza is one of my favorite things ever so I'm so excited for this level up! Looks amazing.
So good it is
Your mexican pie and frito pie looks absolutely delicious I can’t wait to try it. Thank you Kent and Shannon for all you do, I do wish I lived close by so I could watch and help you cook Kent, your food always looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing!!!
You oughta try tamale pie.
Boyfriend says on the rare occasion and his parents going out on a "date". It was always some version of Mexican Pizza. Although nothing was ever canned. Like the idea and the Masa Harina and the tortillas. We are trying to grow our own Masa Harina and our tortillas are always freshly made ...................................... Thank You!
I made them with ground chicken tonight rather than ground beef, because my kids like chicken better. It was actually pretty good. There is so much flavor in the recipe that the difference between beef and chicken is pretty minimal.
I made the ground beef version a couple of days ago. Both are amazing. I had a little trouble getting the corn masa to stick to the flour tortillas so I rubbed a little peanut oil on the tortillas before adding the corn masa and it helped a lot.
Another home run by Kent and Shannon!
Slightly larger and more delicious than the original! 👏👏
I've never tried to recreate the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, so I learned a lot from this video such as the tortilla part. And how to make those canned refried beans better if I don't have time to turn Kent's charro beans into refried beans.
But I want to contribute something. First, the "red sauce" on top of the mexican pizza is the same they put in their bean burritos. This is 100% different than what comes in the packets. All it is is red enchilada sauce. Use it where Taco Bell puts their "red sauce".
Second, I have spent a lot of time and have perfected a Taco Bell taco meat recipe. Here it is.
For 1lb of ground meat:
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup water
Brown the meat. Add all the dry powders and water. Mix well, bring to boil, then simmer until most of the liquid evaporates off. Not too dry, though (refer to taco bell tacos for consitency). If you want to get fancy and make it "better", then use real onion instead of powdered, and consider adding a touch of coriander and Mexican oregano.
Last note: if you want to go old school Mexican Pizza, Taco Bell used to put sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and a dollop of sour cream on top.
Thanks for sharing
#1. You can get the big 12 inch tortillas at Walmart. #2. You don't have to fry the tortillas in oil to make them crisp. Using a microwave and a stick of butter (rub on the tortilla both sides after warm then cook till browned) does a better job and is tastier. #3. Use Chiletepins (official Texas state chili pepper) in sauce for "clean" heat (none of the overwhelming taste of chlorophyl like habanero peppers)
Dusting the tortillas with masa. Yes! I’m adopting a new technique here🐸🍺🔪🔥
As always you hit it out of the ball park.❤
That looks delicious. Glad you added the jalapenos on top! Thanks again Shan, Kent and the doggos!
Thank you for watching
In our CA area Del Taco competes with Taco Bell. Del Taco wins in most of the menue categories. Not only that, their various "taco sauce" packets are much better too.
The trick to refried beans in a can (or any solid stuff in a can like cranberry sauce or dog food) is to open one end and then use the thing on the other end of a bottle opener (the pointy part that you would use to open a tomato juice or something similar can with). That lets air in behind and it just slides out. You can also just open both ends and use the bottom to push out the top.
You should add the sauce that’s called El Pato, in the yellow can, to your sauce! Umm good! 😁
I'm definitely trying this soon. I've always loved the Mexican Pizza "idea"
Hope you enjoy it
I'm gluten free & have yet to find a decent gluten free tortilla that doesn't fall apart. So I made these with tostados. SO GOOD!! My whole family loved them - from my husband to my 2-year old!!
That is how you bring a sorta clever gimmick to its true potential. I would love having one of those and be dancing while I eat it.
I love when he feeds the pups. So cute
This is the best channel on CZcams. God Bless you, Kent and Shan.
I've been watching ol' Kent for the past 25 years. Each time I'd say: "Kent, turn on the ad revenue." "Them's more money in ads then feeding elk hunters in New Mexico." I'm glad our favorite cowboy has A-dapted his operating system, so that we get more videos, and he can take Shan and the beagle out in style in a brand new RAM.
well, I have not made it. My hot water heater failed, FLOOD in the garage. Plumbers, etc... been a long road. I have, shared you're recipe. I'm old, my friends are too and we all remember the TB pizza. They took it away, brought it back, and it looks just like your "trial box" did. 🤥, So not the same as the late 70's. Maybe over the last 45 years, my palate has advanced? 😋 I will say, in the day it was heaven. However, I"m ALL about your remake! Except, now I'm too old to eat that much at a time. Bless you for putting it out there. I'll make it work for me. 😘
This looks like the tostados my grandmother built for us as kids. One bite the crisp flower tortia falls apart and drips down your hand and drips off your elbow! Fun happy times! :-)
Western Wisconsin Reporting in! We got ya Kent!
Just made these for dinner at moms place sir, and she said they were award winning. Didn't have tomato sauce but I had some chipotle salsa. Thank you and Shannon!
Kent, I have to say, when you were at the board ordering and Majie jumped up in the camera, I didn't notice at first. Second, I love me some Taco Bell Mexi-pizza, and I always thought that's the way it should be, but I'm sure I am going to love yours more. Love what you and Shan do you have taught me alot.
Years ago we accidentally discovered how to precisely duplicate the taste of Taco Bell taco meat.
Brown your ground beef with some onion, pepper, chili powder, whatever. When it’s done, dump it in a food processor and grind it into a paste. Instant fast food taste! I guess it’s the fats distributed through the mix, but a few seconds of processing completely alters the flavor.
I prepare 4 meals a week for my wife and me. One of the meals is for 1 day and the other 3 are two-day meals. Next week, the one-day meal is going to be Mexican Pizza. Thanks for the great inspiration.
Even in a challenge Kent is still kind, humble, and respectful. Love it.
Gotta add some black olives and chives the way Taco Bell originally did it. Huge flavor upgrade!
I have eaten Mexican pizzas for 55+ years. I brown ground beef with all the seasonings, Warm a can of refried beans. I warm a flour tortilla, then spread beans and add meat, sprinkle as much shredded cheddar to your liking, then put in oven or microwave until cheese is melted. Add onion, tomato, lettuce or any topping you would wantl. Add salsa (I love the very warm salsa) Then we enjoy We don't care for the crunchy tortilla. I really enjoy watching your show from East Texas
Sounds great!
I love your humble attitude about everything. the older I get, I try to be that way. Papa Bob in MO
Thanks Papa Bob
Long time watcher- first time commentator.
You are the most genuine and inspiring soul. As a retired Marine I appreciate all you do to help feed folks.
Thanks so much my friend for your service and for watching
Tried it yesterday. I love Taco Bell mexican pizzas, but this recipes is next level. Dusting the tortilla with Maseca is genius and adds so much flavor and crunch.
Here my take favorite mex pizza That I make.
Crunchy flour tortillas
Out the oven with melted cheese.
Fresh guacamole.
Seasoned beef.
Onions
Green Chile.
Tomatoes.
Black olives
And whatever else you like.
And whooooo!!!!
A family fave...PHX AZ .
Sounds good
@@CowboyKentRollins need to do like a Texas stew.
I visited Texas last year and we ate at Rudy's bbq. And wow! That stew is great so I learned to somewhat copy it..
We are having a ball watching you and making your delicious recipes. Also, I love your love for God and Country. You and Shannon are an inspiration.
I'm not sure which I love more- the recipe and tutorial, the dogs, or the dance. 😊
Just made this and it was so good! My hubby really liked it. I didn't have any of that corn masa so I sprinkled jiffy mix cornbread on the tortillas, gave them a sweet flavor. Thanks for this fabulous recipe! ❤
So glad yall enjoyed
I've never worked fast food Kent, but I appreciate you not trashing them. You're making an upscale version of what they do with great ingredients and all the time you want to take . You mention it. They work fast and hard for low pay with the ingredients they have. Certainly, some of them don't want to be there, but they are. Good folks, feeding America and they don't get the love they deserve. Thank you Kent Rollins!
You impressed Shannon! Never heard her admit that! Looks great Kent.
Yum, the way it's supposed to be...God Bless
And God bless you
I'm always grateful for a fast food restaurant when I'm away from home, have skipped a meal and can't otherwise get some food. And as I used to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken about four decades ago, I know what hard, hot work it is in those fast food kitchens. But I agree - your Mexican pizza looks way more substantial and delicious than Taco Bell's. Nothing ever beats a home-made meal!
Kent all you need is some black olives and they’re perfect
