How about Fista Nachos? Or Touchdown Taco Dip - omit the beans and add ground beef seasoned with Southwest Seasoning perhaps?

Do a recipeYou can do a recipe search on CC. I typed in "mexican" in the Key Word area, and a whole list came up. Then, you could search this site to see if the recipe is listed if you don't have the cookbook.

This was listed under a Product Use & Care recipe. You could leave out the black beans and make them on the side for those who want them, I'm sure.

HTH!

Make it without the beans they'll never notice.

How about this

Chicken Fajita Pizza

1 pouch (16 ounces) Pizza Crust & Roll Mix (including yeast packet)
1 1/4 cups very warm water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium red pepper, sliced into strips
1 medium green pepper, sliced into strips
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 tablespoon Pantry Southwestern Seasoning Mix
1/2 cup thick and chunky salsa
6 ounces shredded Mexican cheese blend (1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 425°F. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine pizza crust mix and yeast packet. Add water and vegetable oil; stir until mixture forms a ball. Turn dough out onto floured surface. With floured hands, gently knead dough 8-10 times. Sprinkle cornmeal over Large Round Stone. Roll dough to edge of baking stone using lightly floured Baker's Roller(R).

Chop cooked chicken using Food Chopper; set aside. Slice red and green peppers into 1-inch strips with Chef's Knife. Slice onion using Ultimate Slice & Grate fitted with v-shaped blade; slice onion slices in half. Heat Stir-Fry Skillet over medium-high heat; spray with vegetable oil. Add peppers, onion, garlic using Garlic Press and seasoning mix; stir-fry 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salsa.

Arrange vegetable mixture over crust. Sprinkle chopped chicken over vegetable mixture. Top with cheese.

Bake 18-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle cilantro over pizza. Cut into wedges. Serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.
