Taco Pizza

                                                                             

This is a FUN & DELICIOUS PIZZA! If you LOVE TACOS you will LOVE this pizza! Great for kids parties or just pizza night! 

This recipe makes 2 15 inch round pizzas! Just cut recipe in 1/2 to make one pizza, but I suggest making the 2 pizzas because it is delicious!

CRUST:

3 Cups Bread Flour, MUST BE BREAD FLOUR!

2 Teaspoons Sugar

1 Packet Yeast

1 & 1/3 Cup Cold Water

Stir this all together & let sit 10 minutes then stir in ,

1 Tablespoon Oil

1 Teaspoon Salt

Mix well, cover & let rise until double, place in a nice warm spot to get good yeast action!  as dough is doubling I start the meat topping.When doubled divide dough in half. I just flour my cookie sheets that I am going to bake the pizza on & roll out my crust right on the sheet! Roll out to a 15 inch round. Pinch the edges of the crust to get a nice pizza crust edge! 

Meat Filling:

2 pounds of lean ground Beef

2 Packets of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning the 1 OZ Size. Brown the beef, add the seasoning & the water cook as directed! I use the Mild Seasoning but use what suits you best. Once cooked turn off the heat & just wait for that crust to double in size! Once the dough has doubled roll out like I mentioned & spread the following out on the unbaked crust.

Dough Topping:

3 Jars Old El Paso Taco Sauce 

1 Can Refried Beans

Spread one jar of sauce over each crust. Divide the can of beans between the 2 crust. Now divide your meat mixture between the 2 crust. Spread meat out evenly. 

Top each pizza with 2 cups each shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese or use your favorite cheese you use for tacos!

Bake each pizza for 20 minutes at 450 degrees, pull pizzas out of the oven & spread crushed tortilla chips over the tops, return to the oven until crust is nicely brown & cheese is bubbling another 3 to 5 minutes should do it!

                                                                      

This is how each Pizza should look after they are finished baking! Now slice & dish up! Top each pizza slice with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, & more Taco Sauce, dollops of sour cream & DIG IN! REALLY GOOD & FUN! Add as much heat as you like to this recipe, We have mild taste buds so we do not add jalapenos or hot sauce but if that is what you love then please add what you like!
