Taco Pizza

Yesterday, we had some good friends over after church. Of course, anytime I'm serving a meal after church, I want something relatively quick to put together. Especially since I can never seem to eat breakfast before going to church (why???) and am ravenous by the time it's over. This time around, I made something I've been wanting to make for awhile now - taco pizza! Though it looks like a long list of ingredients, it's really just topping possibilities - it's very easy and simple to make.

Ingredients: (for two pizzas)

• 2 pizza doughs of your choice (to make it quick, I just used the refrigerated roll-out kind) cooked according to package directions 
• 1 package/can of meatless burger  (optional and preferably non GMO)
• 1 can vegetarian re-fried beans
• 1 package taco seasoning
• a little water 
• 1 package queso fresco
• half head lettuce, chopped fine
• a couple tomatoes, chopped
• half bunch cilantro, chopped
• 1 can sliced olives
• sour cream
• hotsauce
• salsa
• jalapenos 

In a skillet, combine the burger, beans, and taco seasoning, adding a little water to thin it out a bit. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Spread mixture evenly onto to each prepared pizza crust. Halve the wedge of cheese and crumble one half onto each pizza. Then add the other toppings as you desire. I mixed the sour cream and hot sauce together and used a plastic bag with a small hole in the bottom to dot the mixture over the tops. I just put the salsa in a bowl on the side for self-serving. Cut and serve immediately.

Oh and some guacamole would have been awesome on this as well. But then again, when is it not awesome? 


Note: If you think you'll have left-overs, it might be a good idea to have your guests top each piece individually with the lettuce and other non-re-heatable items as they wish. That way, you can save and reheat the slices with just the bean mixture and top them later.
