The combination of taco and pizza might seem strange, but it is really scrumptious. It has the perfect balance of carbs and protein and is a great option if you want to eat something that will fill you up without leaving you feeling bloated.
Taco Pizza
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 400 g fresh ground beef
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 1-2 tbsp taco seasoning (see recipe below)
- 1 can chilli beans
- 1 store bought pizza crust or make your own pizza base
- flour for dusting
- 2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 cup iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes chopped
- 1 can sliced black olives
- 1 small capsicum thinly sliced
Taco Seasoning Ingredients
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- If making your own pizza base, do this first. If not, begin with step 2.
- Grind your beef as per meat grinding instructions and set it aside.
- Set a pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and preheat it to 230C (If you don’t have a pizza stone just use a regular pizza tray).
- In a frypan over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onions until cooked through and tender. Drain, then add your taco seasoning and mix through. Set aside.
- Stretch the pizza dough to a 12-inch round and transfer to cornmeal or flour-dusted cutting board.
- Spread your chili beans over the pizza base, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Sprinkle with 3/4 of the cheese followed by the taco meat, then the remaining cheese.
- Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is bubbling. Top with the shredded lettuce, dollops of sour cream, tomatoes, olives, and capsicum. Cut into 8 wedges and serve.
Taco Seasoning Preparation
- Combine all seasonings together and store them in an airtight container. Use 1-2 tbsp per 500g of mince.
