Taco Pizza
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 1 package Active Dry Yeast, 0.25 Ounce Packet
- 1 dash Sugar
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 package Taco Seasoning, 1 Ounce Packet
- 1 can (10oz) Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1/4 cups Water
- 1 can (6oz) Black Olives, Drained And Sliced
- 4 cups Shredded Cheese (I Used Cheddar And Pepper Jack)
- Taco Toppings Of Your Choice
- NOTE: This recipe makes approximately two 12 inch-ish pizzas, one large cookie sheet size pizza, or eight-ish personal pizzas.
- If you dont need that much pizza, you can easily freeze half the dough and half the meat mixture for another time.
- Just put the extra portions in freezer bags and chuck them in the freezer.
- WOO!
- Easy pizza on a lazy day!
- Just remember if youre only using half, you only need half the cheese.
- Unless youre a cheese lover that is.
- Then go ahead and use however much you want!
- Combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 cup of the flour in a large bowl.
- Mix well.
- Add the oil, salt, and remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough holds its shape.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 10 minutes.
- If the dough becomes sticky, sprinkle a little flour over it.
- Form the dough into a ball and plop it in a lightly oiled bowl (twice the size of the ball).
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to get out any air bubbles.
- Cover with a towel while you prepare the meat sauce.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brown the beef over medium heat, breaking it up into bitty pieces (I mash mine with a potato masher) until well browned, and drain off the grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, water, and sliced olives.
- Cover and let simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Cut the dough into two or eight (or however many you want actually bite size pizzas?)
- equal pieces or leave whole if youre making one large pizza.
- Roll out each piece to about 1/3 inch thick (thinner if you like thin crust or thicker if you like thick) and place on an oiled cookie sheet or pizza pan.
- Divide the meat mixture and cheese evenly on each crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pizza(s) are ooey and gooey and bubbly and brown.
- Remove from the oven, cut into pieces, and top with the taco toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, etc).
- Enjoy!
