What are Some Recipes for Mexican Pizza?

[esavvymom]

I have a guest looking for the recipe for "Mexican Pizza"?

Before I look really stupid and ask her for more details, was just wondering if the more seasoned PCers here knew of what Mexican Pizza recipes we have/had. So far, I've only found a "Fabulous Fajita Pizza" in my 'All the Best' cookbook.

Thanks!!
