Aldi just became a hero with this Taco Bell Mexican Pizza copycat and I tested it! The layered tostada has seasoned beef, refried beans, melted cheese, and that signature red sauce between crispy tortillas. At a fraction of the price, this tastes remarkably close to the real thing. I went back the next day and my local Aldi shelves were already empty.

Cooking steps
-
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
-
2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6 minutes; drain excess fat. Stir in Casa Mamita Taco Seasoning and 1/3 cup water. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Aldi tip: Their taco seasoning is just as flavorful as national brands—at a lower price.
-
3
While beef cooks, brush both sides of each tortilla with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Bake tortillas on the prepared sheet for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until ultra-crispy and golden brown.
-
4
Heat Casa Mamita Refried Beans in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until easily spreadable.
-
5
Assemble each tostada: Spread warm refried beans on 4 crispy tortillas; top with seasoned beef, then another tortilla. Spoon Casa Mamita Original Enchilada Sauce over, sprinkle generously with shredded cheese, and place on the baking sheet.
-
6
Bake assembled tostadas at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is thoroughly melted and the edges crisp further. For an authentic finish, broil for 1-2 minutes if desired—watch carefully so they don’t burn.
-
7
Let cool slightly, then slice each tostada into quarters with a sharp knife and serve hot. Enjoy the Taco Bell copycat experience for a fraction of the price!
