Really excited for josh’s pop up restaurant where he sells discontinued Taco Bell items with slightly different names

Mexican pizza was neither pizza nor truly Mexican but it made a place in my heart. RIP old friend

That pizza was the ONLY item that didn't taste like everything else on the menu. Shame on them.

The Mexican Pizza was literally the only thing I bought from Taco Bell.

Josh is going to the the one dad that actually means it when he says “we have taco bell at home”

Most relatable part of the episode was not Josh's deep love for the mexican pizza, but when he went, "Ah crap, my hips popped."

This video both warms my heart and breaks it all at the same time. I had no idea they discontinued it! I was a manager at a Taco Bell in Denver Colorado for a few years and the Mexican Pizza was my favorite thing to eat on break. I would make it for myself and if you put a thin layer of nacho cheese on top with the sauce, cheese and tomato and then take a few packs of fire sauce and drip over the top.... so good. Assembling a perfect ratio Mexican Pizza is a skill that few have achieved, but those who have experienced it know it is one of the best items that Taco Bell ever had. RIP Mexican Pizza. Taco Bell gives 0 f's. They have always introduced great menu items and then snatch them away. But to kill off such an old staple is just tragic and unforgivable.

I will miss Mexican pizza.... I already miss the version of my childhood with olives, green onions, and sour cream..... Taco Bell has lost its way.

I'm so thrilled the Mexican Pizza is finally getting the attention it deserves. It might seem strange compared to the rest, but it is a menu item that has stood the test, the test of time to fill our stomachs and make us happy

The death of the Mexican Pizza.. Just another 2020 tragedy. RIP old friend.

“Like Lazurus the Mexican pizza has been risen from the dead” favorite line

"make sure the sour cream isnt all at one end of the burrito" god, that's relatable. Josh truly is all of us. That hit me way too hard in the feels.

I have learned don't label something as a favorite on the taco bell app, because every single item I have ever listed has been removed.

👀 A friend of mine is devastated by the Mexican pizza being discontinued... He said, and I quote "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined," so this recipe will come in handy to console him... 💪

Josh: is that what bagpipes sound like? Me: No honey, that's a drunken kazoo

“Beef me up Scotty” is 100% my new weight lifting catch phrase

I feel like a collab with Julien Solomita and Josh would be perfect. Tornados in the kitchen!

"We wouldn't have Skrillex without Caspa and Rusko" 😂😂😂

Absolute gods truth: this beef recipe changed my life. I have been trying for YEARS to get a tasty mexican beef recipe and this one is amazing. Make it, eat it then love it.

“Tex-Mex smoothie” “beef curds” what a wonderful vocabulary Josh is teaching us all

I'll never go to tacobell again. I literally got a Mexican pizza everytime I went.

Don’t forget when they had black olives on it back in the day!

35 years ago I was in high school and working at Taco Bell when the Mexican Pizza came out. Fun note: At the beginning it was called "Pizzazz Pizza".

Wait, “Mythical Chef” Trevor?? Did Trevor get a promotion??

As usual, I was smiling from ear to ear this whole video, but I lost it at "least ripe tomatoes in the world". 😂 As a Mexican Pizza connoisseur, never have truer words been spoken.

Bless you! 😭😭😭😭😭 it's the only thing I (almost ever) get and they took it away in the YEAR I NEEDED IT MOST!

The beef recipe is spot on! I just made some and started eating it by the spoonful.

-I’m bored, discontinue another food! -But sir, we discontinued everything... -Oh...

"freshly tilled soil" I was gonna go with 'beef tapenade'

I haven’t had a Mexican Pizza in probably 10 years, but now I want it more than ever. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

I just made this beef and it's so delicious and authentic. I used it to make deep fried tacos. Thank you for this recipe!

Just one of the MANY things I love about Josh is his unabashed honesty about his love of Taco Bell food, he IS NOT AFRAID TO SAY WHAT WE ALL ARE THINKING! Josh IS THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE!

The Mexican Pizza is my go to, it will be missed.

Taco Bell Mexican Pizza lovers rejoice. Since the filming of this video the retired menu item has returned. Thanks for this great copycat recipe. I will definitely give it a try with slightly fresher ingredients than they would use at The Bell. Side note - speaking of nostalgia, how many of you remember the $0.39, $0.59, $0.79 cent menu items? That's right, Taco Bell tacos used to be had for a mere 39 cents each. Terrible for their bottom line but great for your late night cravings in the early days.

You're my hero Josh. Right as the pandemic hit, my gallbladder started failing, and by June, I couldn't continue to eat a lot of stuff that I used to. The biggest trigger was anything with meat. If I ate meat, it felt like I was being stabbed in the gut with a knife. So I had to go on a forced Taco Bell hiatus. It took a long time before they determined that my gallbladder had to go, but it finally got removed about a month ago. Now able to eat meat, one of the first things I went to order on Postmates was Taco Bell. As if 2020 couldn't get any worse, I noticed they had discontinued one of the 2 things I wanted to order. But now . . . now, I can finally get life back on track. That's thanks to you. Now, if they ever discontinue the crunchwrap though, I don't know that I'll be able to eat at Taco Bell anymore. I guess its a good thing you have videos for a fancy version of that too.

I feel like i'm watching Will Ferrell trying to do a skit when i watch Josh; except i know that it's just Josh being Josh, and all i want is to be included

Josh, when Covid’s over you need to take a little field trip to the Taco Bell headquarters.

I substituted the corn tortillas with store bought tostada's & it came out good. This recipe is spot on! I was apprehensive but pleasantly surprised it actually tasted similar to TB's Mexican pizza

When I was young, and we were s%@t poor, Mexican Pizza’s were a huge treat for my Mom and I. Such sweet memories.

My favorite TB item 😔 Thanks for the corn/flour hybrid tortilla tip, I was wondering that 🤔 Gonna make sum this weekend 😋

First the Double Decker taco, now the Mexican Pizza. The Taco Bell app doesn’t even offer Dr. Pepper as an option. It’s as if Taco Bell wants to fail.

Josh should get a" Mythical Truck" and drive across the country selling his creations

I made this recipe the other night and it's so close to the original. The whole family loved it. Thanks, Josh!

"It smells like a Taco Bell kitchen in here!" Ok, whose smoking the joint in back, Trevor or Nicole?

I love the recipe being in the description! Also, Josh is a rare specimen 😂

"The smoothness of Taco Bell" is also the after effects of the franchise (RIP your intestines)

This cat has something special......bright, positive, attitude getting things done... kinda guy....my first time seeing this channel

Well, now I feel like I need an episode where they make the best mexican pizza they can rather than just copying Taco Bell's version.

Taco Bell keeps doing us dirty and removing so many of our favorite unhealthy tex mex snacks!!!

*tries to turn on the blender * Josh: *opens the drawer* “huh what the fruit!?” 🤣🤣🤣

Josh has that great combo of skill and personality. I like him.

I believe “Smooth” was actually Santana featuring Rob Thomas...

Damn he was so close with the sauce, it just needed whole fleshy chunks of tomato in it.

The shell was pure flour, no corn. The sauce was semi-marinara, semi chili, so you were close, but you needed cooked tomatoes in the sauce and the tomatoes on the top were supposed to be steamed or cooked as well. And the original recipe had green onions as well.

Finally someone has explained to me why Ive always thought taco seasoning smelled like body odor!

My mom is making chili right now and im watching this. Is this what smellOvision is!?

Strangely, I like Taco Bell beef and am so happy I can now make it myself. Thanks josh!

It's coming back!! Until then, I am making my own version tonight with tostada shells that need to be used up. I enjoyed your video, you are fun to watch. You be a hoot on the Food Network.

You forgot mass quantities of minced dried onions to the beef. I worked there, dried onion is a major factor in the beef base.

So when will Gordon Ramsay be a guest on the show?

You need to do an episode in the Taco Bell test kitchen. Talk to the people in charge, beg for your favorite items, make crazy food and have them judged by a panel of unsuspecting taste testers.

Thank you so much Josh, Nicole, Trevor, and the Mythical crew! Between these videos and the podcast, you keep me going these days!

I'm glad they let Josh do his Taco Bell stuff. Honestly anything taco bell related on this channel is prime content.

I used to work at Taco Bell and I did for a REALLY long time. I was able to create amazing things and ensure they were always fresh. However now nearly all the good menu items are gone and I will never be able to trust Taco Bell again.

Hello fellow kitcheneers. Just this opening is worth the like. And I just love how we get flashes of angry Josh throughout the whole video, that's part of the recipe now.

I've asked for this at least 10x. Thanks Josh and the mythical team

I can really appreciate how much people love Taco Bell

Forget the pizza why’d they have to cut the shredded chicken burrito that was delicious and the only reason I went to taco hell

The Caspa and Rusko reference almost made me spit out my coffee. He's also, right???? pre-2008/skrillex dubstep was a completely different animal.

the way to make the fine texture of ground beef is simple. Skillet, the beef, package taco seasong, plus water NOW. Cook it til no more pink-the water breaks it down to an extra fine texture. No food processor needed, no mess. The water per season pack directions. Cook til thickened/done.

I've made joshs beef recipe like 3x now. My kids loved it, and no extra trips to the Bell!

Me at the beginning of the vid: Oooo speech! Josh at the end of the speech: Amen Me: uhhhh

This is so honorable. Thank you for your love of Taco Bell and the Mexican Pizza, Josh. Perhaps they'll bring it back after people voice their opinion much like the LTAT intro of GMM. I can only hope we get that lucky again.

That Rusko mention was the boss material that keeps me tuning in.

I live in a place that has never had a Taco Bell in the 30 yrs I walked this earth. I feel none of this sadness. But Josh cooking is all I need.

I love Taco Bell’s Beef burrito. They discontinued it years ago. You can still order it and if they won’t you. You can ask for a bean burrito minus bean add beef. It’s beef, cheese, onion and red sauce. Can you teach this one and or the red sauce!!! It’s my favorite item there! Thanks love the show. Ps is the sauce in this the red sauce on the beef/bean burrito? Thanks

Oh my god thank you for this. I’m legit so angry at Taco Bell for removing my favorite menu item 😂

I’d never had a Mexican pizza until I watched the Fancy Fast Food episode and it looked so good. And then just months later it was discontinued. Perfect timing.

Josh is a lowkey bass head and i am HERE for it

idk why hearing him try to say caldo de pollo knor was so funny to me xD

Who’s rewatching this now that taco Bell brought it back?

2023 and it is much easier to go buy them again, that is for sure. This is the best recipe I have tried so far, thanks. I had some canned Keystone ground beef and with it's texture so close to Taco Bells, I thought of making these. If you go the canned enchilada and Ragu route like i did, be sure to add some sugar, that is what it is missing for me using Ragu Pizza sauce. I thought the pizza sauce would be sweeter. Be careful drying the shells in the oven with all the scurrying around, they can dry/cook fast.(ask me how I know) I will just skip this next time, the flour Fajita shells I used did just fine without drying them. Overall the meat flavor was pretty spot on, but like always getting the shells just right is the hard part. I like the flour tortillas so I used those and they were very crisp, and I liked that, wife thought it was too crispy. I told her since "they did not travel in the box steaming" on the way home .....:) Now the big question? Will it go through me, like Taco bell usually does? LOL

We cook the meat in a similar matter for our restaurant. Then cool it. Vacuum seal it lay flat sheets . When wanting it just pull it out put it in a sous vide bath.

I miss so many of the early TB items: the Mexican Pizza, the Enchirito, the Bell Beefer (don't hate me) and the Taco Lite Supreme (no lite about it, it was a fried flour shell instead of corn).

"What the fruit!?" 🤣🤣🤣

This guy combines humor with spice…literally!!

I'm 62 years young and I miss the original green and Torito and the bell beefer bring them back. Bring that back. Bring them back.

They told employees they got rid of it because the packaging was contributing some odd percentage to landfills. It was also a pain in the ass for everyone who worked there.

Rip some of my favorite taco bell menu items. Mexican pizza Quesorito Loaded grillers

I just made this a few days ago. Can report it was utterly incredible.

You have no idea how important this is to me! One of my best friends and I were pregnant with girls at the same time and we BOTH craved Taco Bell Mexican Pizza! See how fast they make your order for you!!!

“We realized we never gave a definitive Taco Bell ground beef recipe, so here it is..” and my audio cut out. Thought it was a bit until I hit an ad 🙃

We wouldn’t have Skrillex without: *From First To Last*

4:08 FYI people, dont do what he did and put hot food in your processor. It can screw up the plastic around the blade or even the container itself. Let the food sit for 5 minutes so that it's warm and not hot, then you can put it in.

Coming back to this video just to say we did it, Josh! It's coming back!

Anyone try this? How similar is it to the actual Taco Bell seasoned beef? I tried for ages to find/make a proper copy cat recipe, and I couldn't seem to replicate it. Their seasoning packets don't even come close.

Must add green onion like the OG MP’s had.

I worked at taco bell in the 80's and we had to cook all the meat, beans ( in a pressure cooker), taco shells, from scratch. It was 100 % beef back then cooked with spices . Beans were freshly made everyday and had real lard used. This was the reason behind the original "taco bell jones" it was truly good and addicting.

Years ago they used to also put green onions on it. I'm going to make mine like that. They brought it back but I'm still going to try this. Thanks🙂

The Mexican Pizza, Double Decker Taco, and Doritos Locos Tacos are all dead, and Taco Bell is now dead to me.
