Talk:Mexican pizza

Vegetables?
Green Chiles tend to come from Hatch, New Mexico... So I'm not sure if that's Mexican considering New Mexico is part of the United States. Also, lettuce and tomatoes aren't Mexican... they're just vegetables, I've met people from Maine that eat Pizzas with Lettuce and Tomato.

To be honest I don't think any of the "Mexicanized" part of the article is even required when describing a "Mexican Pizza". A pizza with Mexican-style ingredients is not a Mexican Pizza, it's just a region specific variety of Pizza. A Mexican Pizza is actually a different type of food all together.

 * Okay, this article is describing three different foods entirely.


 * 1) Mexican Pizza the base is usually a tortilla, made from either corn or flour; salsa or refried beans instead of the marinara sauce found on Italian pizzas; cheese, usually Cheddar or Monterey Jack; and toppings such as spiced beef or jalapeños.
 * 2) Pizzadillas can be made from quesadillas after tomato sauce and toppings have been added.
 * 3) Mexican-Style Ingredient Toppings Added to Pizza pizza is sometimes "Mexicanized" by adding Mexican toppings (such as green chiles, chorizo, Mexican cheeses, lettuce, fresh tomatoes, taco sauce, tortilla chips, etc.) to a traditional pizza just before serving.

I am from Mexico and I have never seen such things as pizzas made over tortillas, nor "pizzadillas". Our most common ingredients for "mexican pizza" are chorizo, chiles, onion, green and red peppers, and some kinds of salsas over a regular pizza crust with mozzarella, oaxaca, or manchego cheese. This article's description more likely matches something you would eat at tex-mex restaurants or at Taco Bell. I think it should at least specify that.

I too hail from Mexico and I've never ever seen anything resembling a tortilla-based crust and G-d forbid I ever will. Lee, maybe you got your facts from people that believe that Nachos are a mexican dish. On the other hand, tomatoes ARE regarded as being domesticated by Aztecs although there are sub-species indigenous to Peru. The name Tomato comes from the Nahuatl tomatl, literally "swelling fruit". Maybe you should educate yourself by visiting the Tomato Wikipedia article: Tomato. BTW, Chocolate is Mexican too and so is Vanilla. --Jorgeblasio (talk) 02:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I never said "pizzadillas" were Mexican. I'm Latino, and I was complaining about the article in the first place; in fact, those were quotes from the article before some cleanup to the article was made. It was originally talking about three different minor snack foods in general, and it wasn't properly naming any of them. The pizza has many different cultural variations. And the Mexican pizza is, indeed, a delicious one. My grandmother's Mexican, most of the people I have been around my entire life are Mexican. I apologize for the misunderstanding; But, before you assume, remember assuming makes an ASS out of U and ME.

P.S. I am very well aware of the tomato's origins, I am also well aware of the Potato's origins. But, the french fry isn't Peruvian.

P.P.S. Nachos actually are Mexican, but they were served by Victory Club in Piedras Negras to American tourists. lol Smile Lee (talk) 09:31, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
