Rustica Mexican Style Pizza

What is it?

Mexican-spiced toppings sit on McCain's Rustica base, with spiced beef, jalapenos and cheese over a stone-baked-style crust. Compared with the rest of the Rustica range, this one leans into heat rather than the usual Italian-leaning toppings, so the flavour profile shifts toward taco shop territory. It's a frozen pizza, meant to go straight from the freezer into the oven, where the crust firms up and the toppings heat through. Rustica bases tend to be thinner and crispier than McCain's standard frozen pizzas, with a rougher, more artisan-style edge. Jalapenos bring a moderate chilli hit that sits on top of the cumin-and-paprika beef seasoning, and the cheese melts into a bubbling layer that holds the toppings in place.
