Deep Dish Mexican Pizza Bake

"I wasn't much of a school lunch eater. It's probably hard to believe given the path that I've taken and my job these days, but as a kid, going through the lunch line gave me so much anxiety. I was constantly worried I would say the wrong thing, get the wrong food, or not have enough money. Serious anxiety. So imagine my surprise when on my oldest's first day of kindergarten he came home with his lunch untouched and said "oh, I decided I'd rather go in the lunch line!" Hah! Where did that kid come from? There were always one or two days a month where I would make an exception, throw caution to the wind and brave the lunch line . One of those days was Mexican Pizza Day"
