PROS

This pizza is a unique way to enjoy two favorite foods; pizza and tostadas.
It is jam-packed with tasty, flavorful ingredients and can be customized to satisfy any cravings.

It’s a quick and easy dinner option that the whole family can enjoy.

CONS

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this pizza may not be the healthiest option, it does contain some beneficial ingredients. Lean ground beef is a good source of protein and iron, and the vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, green onions) add fiber and vitamins.
Using pinto beans instead of traditional pizza sauce can provide an extra boost of dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and promoting feelings of fullness.
