High-protein Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

Here’s the  and some tips if you want to boost protein in your order:

📊 Nutrition — Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

A standard Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell has about:

  • ~19–21 g protein per pizza (1 serving) — from beef, refried beans, and cheese.

  • ~530–550 calories, ~28–31 g fat, and ~48–49 g carbs.

💡 19–21 g of protein isn’t bad for a single item at fast food, but it’s moderate compared with other high-protein menu choices you could pick.


💪 How to Make It More Protein-Rich

If you want to boost the protein when you order:

1. Ask for extra beef or extra beans — this adds more protein from the meat or plant source. Extra beef usually adds several grams of protein per ounce.
2. Add black beans — beans are lower in fat and higher in protein/fiber.
3. Pair with a high-protein side like a Grilled Chicken item or Power Menu Bowl with chicken/steak for more overall protein in the meal.
4. Skip sauces high in carbs and fat (like creamy sauces) to keep the focus on protein-rich ingredients.


📌 Summary

  • Mexican Pizza itself has ~19–21 g protein — a solid but not “high-protein” amount compared to some other menu items.

  • You can increase total protein with customization or pairing.

  • For even more protein at Taco Bell, items like Power Menu Bowls with chicken/steak typically offer more protein per serving than the Mexican Pizza.
