Taco Pizza
Seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on a chewy pizza crust. A fresh Mexican spin on classic pizza!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 recipe for pizza crust
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 6 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 15 oz can of black beans drained
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 1 6 oz can black olives sliced
- Optional garnish: sour cream salsa, avocadoes, guacamole
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough. (Or use canned or frozen dough.) Preheat your oven to 425°.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain off any fat. Add taco seasoning, water, and black beans. Simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes. If mixture gets too dry, add more water.
- Meanwhile, press the pizza crust into two 12" circles on greased cookie sheets. Prick all over with a fork, and bake in a preheated oven at 425° for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and spread the meat mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle cheeses over the meat mixture and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or till cheese is melted and crust is light brown.
- Remove from oven and add the lettuce, diced tomatoes, and olives.
- Cut each pizza into 8 slices and serve immediately with any additional toppings on the side.
Notes
- One serving is two slices. Nutrition information is an estimate, and will vary based on the crust you use, and the toppings you select.
- If you prefer, you can press the crust into a half baking sheet and just make one large rectangle pizza. It will take a few more minutes to bake.
