Taco Pizza
I love pizza. I could eat it everyday. This is a fantastic variation of the traditional pie. Click on the pictures for close ups -your mouth will water. After you wipe the drool from your mouse, click the back button on your browser to get back here.
Here is what you do: Buy a ball of bread/pizza dough at the supermarket- I find it in the frozen food aisle at Meijer. They are about $1.25 a piece. Let it defrost and proof for a few hours in an (olive) oiled bowl. When the dough is ready, make your taco meat:
-1/4 ground beef
-Penzy's Taco spice (admixture of chili powder, cumin, etc)
-more chili powder
-1/2 chopped yellow onion
Saute it all and let it cook on low for awhile; cook the meat fully, and let the onion become soft. Preheat the oven to 400.
While the meat is cooking, take your dough and, with a rolling pin and some flour, roll it out to fit a standard pizza pan. The one I have has little holes in the bottom, but its not a screen.
Put the rolled out dough on to the pan. It should be relatively thin.
Let the meat cool off a bit and then scoop it out, draining fat and liquid with a slotted spoon. Spread over dough. Add some salsa, mixing it in and spreading it over the dough to the edge of the crust.
Now, add slices of plum tomato, sliced black olives, and lots of mixed taco cheese and mozzarella. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over it all. Also sprinkle dried basil and garlic salt.
Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Add fresh, chopped lettuce to your slice and enjoy with a glass of red wine or cervesa!
