Our family tradition for my family is to have a pizza party for Christmas Eve every year and it’s a tradition I love. This year was an international pizza. Yes, my family is a little crazy, we had enchilada pizza and tika masala pizza.

It was so good and so fun! We changed this recipe a little from our enchiladas we have made previously on the blog, so if you liked those you will most definitely like this!

So here’s my challenge to you: make this dish, share it with your people, and then tell me your twist. Did you add jalapeños? Did you sneak in pickled onions? Did you double the sour cream sauce just because you could? (No judgment — I’d be first in line for that version.) Maybe you turned it into nachos for game day, or gave it a holiday glow with cilantro. Whatever your spin, I want to hear about it.
