Taco Pizza
In our house, pizza and taco’s reign supreme. But, Taco Pizza? Well, that’s another thing entirely. This recipe is so ridiculously good, the kids beg for it. So does the hubby. So do my own innards. Because it’s simple. And it’s good. And I guarantee you’re going to crave it at least four times a day, and eight times on Friday nights. With familiar flavors, the fresh punch of cilantro and scallions, and a warm easy-to-make crust, Taco Pizza may just knock boring old pizza -and-taco’s right off of their thrones, taking control of your to-go-meal preferences forever.
Taco Pizza
1 cup salsa
1 cup ground chicken, sausage, or beef, mixed with taco seasoning
1/2 cup white or black beans
2 cups montery jack cheese
1/4 cup scallions, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Spread the salsa on top of a prepared crust. Sprinkle cheese across the crust. Sprinkle meat and beans over the cheese. Bake in an oven preheated to 425 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh diced scallions and cilantro before serving.
Easy Pizza Crust
1 packet yeast
1 cup very warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup cornmeal
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the warm water in the bowl. Whisk the yeast and sugar into the bowl and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. The mixture should puff up slightly and foam around the top. Stir in two cups of flour, then slowly add flour by the tablespoon until the mixture is very soft, but not super sticky. Drizzle olive oil over the dough, then knead it carefully in the bowl until it’s elastic (about 3-5 minutes of kneading).
Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza stone, then roll the pizza out on top of the cornmeal. Once a thin crust is formed, bake in preheated oven for 7-9 minutes. Top with your favorite pizza toppings.

Memoria commented on Mar 09 11 at 2:07 amI’m assuming the meat and beans should already be cooked. Other beginner cooks out there may not know that. Otherwise, this recipe looks absolutely perfect!
