Mexican Pizza


So we all love pizza, but I had an itchin' for some Mexican.
Why not combine both?

First off. Instead of buying one of those 99cent taco seasoning packets, I figured I'd make my own:



1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

This is good for 1lb or 2 of meat.

But the actual Mexican pizza went like this.

Ingredients:
1-2 pounds ground beef depending on how beefy you want your meat layer
taco seasoning
1 1/2 cup chunky-style salsa
1 pre-made pizza crust (I do the Boboli ones)
1 1/2 cup shredded Nacho, Taco or Mexican cheese blend. You know those ones they have out there.

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put a Boboli crust or premade ready to use crust on a cookie sheet. Bake crust for 4 minutes to get it going.
  • Brown ground beef, mix in taco seasoning.
  • Spread salsa on heated crust, followed by taco meat and cheeses.
  • Return to oven, bake additional 7-12 minutes, or until edges of crust are golden brown and cheese is melted.
I serve it with sour cream on the side, if that's your thing.
