Mary, I just wanted to vindicate you by saying I'm 20, my dad is the same age as you and he grew up in a small southern town middle school in Virginia and won't shut up about these things, his were RECTANGULAR as well!

I’m Mexican, 23 years living here (Tijuana) and it’s the first time I hear about a fiestada 😭. I googled it and it is a thing but it’s the first time I heard about it, omg. I love your videos btw!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

uuh, excellent tingles, I love how you stay yourself Mary, through the years, you truly might be the only "unintentional" asmr there is left! 🥰

I've been watching you for 2 years and I don't know why people criticize you about anything. I enjoy watching you cook. Everybody has their own way of cooking. You are doing your own thing Mary

These are my favourite videos. Cooking sounds soft voice nooo music and no whispering. Perfect!!

My mom has the same little rooster bowl passed down from her grandmother. It’s so nostalgic for me and made me smile to see you have the same one.

At our school, the only meal worth eating in the “school lunch” line was steak fingers, mashed potatoes, rolls and a vegetable. I would definitely wait for those! On other days I’d go through the salad, baked potato line. There was never a wait lol

Almost 20 years later when I was in high school, we had only 23 minutes to eat lunch and I went to a new high school with over 1200 students. Over 2200 now. Our earliest lunch was at 10. How ridiculous is that. Also, you cook better than I do. And I love your anecdotes. It’s like you’re talking to a friend.

This got me remembering my fav middle school meal. We had hot lunch, salad bar and taco salad. Taco salad make no mistake was not salad. it was this bizarre and tasty taco meat with liquid cheese and chips. The chips would be very soggy but it was AUHMAZING. I ate it basically every day for 2 years.

I graduated just two years ago from a school in Alabama, and we still ate these all the time, and they’re so good!

I was in high school in the early 90's and I am downright disappointed that my school didn't have these! We did have a thing called cheese zombies which were kind of like a baked grilled cheese. They were soooooooo good! I'd do some shady stuff for another one. Ha!

I genuinely like you Mary. I feel like you are such a down to earth relatable lady. I know these are supposed to be soothing videos but sometimes I bust out laughing at the wacky things you say or do. You have a good sense of humor. 🙌🏽

Mary just some tips for you. I use the taco seasoning sometimes and what I do is brown my meat first then add half the seasoning and a half cup of water then the meat comes out perfect

I’ve been super sick the last few days , watching your videos has been the one highlight of my days. Thank you for the content you make!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had a love affair with these pizzas! We called them Mexican pizza. When I was pregnant with my son I craved them like crazy, I almost bought a case online 😂

LOL! That link in your pinned comment!!! 😂👏👏👏

Love your eyeshadow it matches your top perfectly 👌 your necklace looks glamorous... you're like a elegant cooking show host

I always love your stories and yes most of the time even the attitude.. that's what reality looks like. It's not always unicorns and cotton candy.. Have a Great Weekend Mary. ❤

Mary just a suggestion for the spare crust. Take some Alfredo sauce add 1 tspn. minced garlic and some chicken cooked with Fajita seasoning and any other toppings you may like. Spread the Alfredo sauce on the crust and then the Prepared chicken seasoned with Fajita and your toppings, and 3/4 cup Mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is slightly golden and melted. To clean the baking sheet, saturate a dishtowel with hot soapy water and lay it on the top of the sheet in your sink, leave it for 20 minutes and then check to see if the stuck on material can be scraped off with a hard nylon or plastic spatula. Scrape away all that can be removed and if there is still stuck on material repeat the hot soapy towel for another 20 minutes.

I would try enchilada sauce instead of the pizza sauce to make it more flavorful if your shooting for a more authentic Mexican flavor maybe even blend it in a blender with rotel or add some green chiles just a suggestion for a different flavor

Those tostadas look amazing so I decided to make my own for dinner tonight. They are soooo good 😋❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing this with us.

Oh my gosh this looks so amazing. I am getting up right now and making this 😂😂😂 Thanks Mary for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

I want to see how you make these recipes but also I want to be able fall asleep to them at the same time haha

What a treat, Mary in the afternoon. Thanks for your wonderful video's.

Listening to you reminisce makes me remember those good ole days like they were yesterday. The kids these days don't get to live free like we did growing up.

Also, those green beans that you made with the beef bullion cubes and sugar are now a staple in my diet and Its the only way I make green beans now

i LOVE your apron Mary! that is so cool hahaha. i am now making a list of what to get to make this with my kids for dinner tonight! Have a great day! 💜

I love your videos so much! I'm in law school and watch you during my reading breaks as a brain cleanse. For example, I'll read for 30 minutes and watch a video for 10 mins, etc. It helps me stay focused. 😀

Here comes this sweet, proper, southern woman.. and then you read her apron.. 😂😂 you are life goals!

Hi Mary. I'm watching from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 your cooking looks delicious 😋 I'm definitely going to give this a go.

When I make things a little too salty I find adding stuff to it helps offset that. Since it’s kinda like a taco pizza, maybe try adding toppings like sour cream or whatever else you like on tacos. Would probably help reduce that and make it easier to eat!

When I was in Jr. High/High, the snack bar also had premade sandwiches from Landshire. So I often got one of those when I didn't like the school lunch.

I'll have to try these! Usually when I use that brand of taco seasoning it says to add water and cook it down. Wonder if that was part of the problem? I have no clue, you have the recipe not me, but I'm definitely trying it! Never had them as a kid. We only got the school pizza. LOL

Yummmm!! You made me hungry for these so we are having them for dinner! I'm tired after working and getting kids so bought the pre made one from the store.

We never had these in school, just walking tacos which I still love to this day. I might have to make these.

Never heard of fiestadas. Looks delish will have to try!

I made empanadas tonight so a Mexican dish is at the end of rotation but I can’t wait to try this in a couple weeks! Edit to add - the sound of your nails on the rectangular baking sheet was sooo nice wow ✨

Love to watch you cook, you make it look easy and scrumptious

Oh this made me remember my middle school days! Here they were called Mexican Pizzas. They were so good!! Our school pizza was always my favorite

I'm loving your cooking videos! I still frequent the Christmas crack goodness! Haha

I did the same thing for lunch in high school. The lines were long so I'd go to the al a carte line and get a cup of fries with cheese. It was cheaper than the full school lunch and I'd save the rest of the money & use it to buy gas for my car (when gas was barely a buck a gallon...)

I didn’t know I liked sizzling and mixing sounds that much 🥰 I was hoping so bad that they came out like you remembered. 🪅 🥳 Fiesta Time 🥳 🪅 Never heard of a Fiestadas we had something called Chalupa’s in Los Angeles (LAUSD). Ingredients on them look the same but they were on rounded corner rectangular shaped, stale “boat like” corn tortilla’s. They were rough on the teeth but yummy!!! Edit: Typos

My high school had these rolls they were HUGE and sooooo good I need to find that recipe.

This is amazing, something unique and informative love it 👍

Ooh Mary I love this recipe and your apron! I’m watching from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and I will be sharing this recipe amongst my friends and family! Julia xx

At first I had no idea what fiestadas were BUT once I saw the finished product I just had flashbacks to elementary school! They were so good! Unfortunately they don’t serve it anymore in school :(((

That whispered "My hands are clean" 😂😂😂😂😂

Don't you just love that you have to say my hands are clean as if the trolls are going to be eating your food or something.

I loved those and the chili crispitos !! Yum

They were my favorite in school!! Ours were different shaped they were like an octagon I think.

I LOVED these pizzas at school! Ours were in a hexagon shape 😂 I am so glad you found this recipe!

Oh no! I think this is the first time I’ve seen you disappointed in the result. I think you’re on the right track in your idea of reducing the amount of taco seasoning.

Looks good!! Never had these at our school in Minnesota... but the 2 thing i did look forward to were... Italian dunkers, and the cheese pizza!!

I remember in our middle school we had a choice of a tray lunch or what we called a Hamburger Tray ( hamburger ,fries,chocolate milk) . Or if you didnt want either one of those ,you could eat out of the snack machines snd that was Doritos, candy bar and Dr pepper for me😂

You have an amazing memory!!!! I hardly remember a thing about my middle school cafeteria!🥴

This is absolutely my favourite video in a long time! Thank you!

Another fun and relaxing cooking video. Thanks.

i totally wish we had this when i was in school!!! maybe it's just a southern thing since you guys are closer to mexico?

It looks delicious. Thanks for tips for tweaking recipe.

Gosh I love your videos so much. You’ve inspired me to start making my own. Thanks so much for what you do!

Love how your eyeshadow matches your shirt !

This sounds so good, I may have to try this! Also, your nails are so pretty! 💕

In high school I usually didn't wait in any line but the hispanic line when they had taco salads. So worth the wait. Otherwise I ate cucumbers and croutons for lunch, sometimes I would make a salad.

I’m from San Diego, and the BEST thing in my school cafeteria was called a taco snack. Maaaan I wish I could find those again! -H

I just have to say, I LOVE YOUR APRON! Oh my gosh, so cute! :D

Your videos are simply wonderful !

Looks delicious....I'd throw some tomatoes on top. Thank You for taking us back in time!🌮🍕

I loved these in elementary and middle school! My friends that didn't like them would give me theirs! Nom nom nom!

I grew up in California and our were rectangles too. But... the crust was kinda like tortilla, not pizza crust. Definitely trying this!

Fiestadas are heavenly!

If you have a Gordon's food service there, they sell the school style Fiestadas . Yours look really good and close to those though!! ❤️

Mary! I live in NC not far from your area…if you have a pizza inn near you, they sell a taco pizza very similar to this!! It’s delicious!!

I've lived in Cakifirnia since 1964 and never heard of a Fiestada. That would kind of be a Mexican pizza in these parts. Why am I watching this when I'm so hungry?

My mouth is watering!! I wish we would have had these at my school when I was a kid.

Wonder if you can make this with non-meat mince...I guess so. Food looks fab Mary and so do you. Thanks.

Love you're apron !!

Voice is very soothing. And I need to make this. Damn

Your skin looks amazing!

I feel robbed. I never had these in school! Looks so good.

I love the cooking videos!

Your pinches of salt were very substantial. 😄 So not surprised it’s salty. I imagine the sauce also had a good bit of sodium?

I know I’m superrr late but for airbake pans if you do get water in them put them in the oven upside down to get the water out!

Hidden Valley has a great taco seasoning

I love the apron!😭

I was wondering if kids typically get lunch at school in the US or if they bring something from home? School lunches are not a big thing where I’m from, normally you have to bring your own food.

This looks so good! This was never an option for school lunch so I’ll have to try. Also maybe if you par - cooked the dough before putting the sauce and toppings on maybe that would help with the texture of the dough? Still looks yummy

❤️❤️❤️ Thanx Mary hope you're doing OK

That apron is legendary 😂

I love your cooking videos!❣️❣️

Love these cooking videos!

Absolutely going to try this recipe!

try 1 packet taco seasoning and omit salt. Ortega taco seasoning is less salty too. you can freeze crust you.dont use

I wish we had those in school! Our snack window in high school had popcorn chicken though and it was great! You could get a pretty big cup of it for $1.

Oh it looks sooo good omg

The apron! 😂😭💀❤

i love the level of ur voice here

I always go way easy on the salt, im not a salty food lover and you can always add salt.

Love the apron😂

I found one of the rooster bowls on eBay! It’s 5 dollars and with red instead of green, and theirs doesn’t have a brand either. I would put a link but then my comment may not show up.
