Categories     Other Main Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ready-made whole wheat pizza crusts
1 large can rosarita vegetarian refried beans
1 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
2 Tbsp water
chopped lettuce
chopped tomatoes
sliced black olives
minced green onions
sour cream, ranch dressing or salsa
cheddar and jack cheese (if not desiring vegan)

Steps:

  • 1. Bake pre-made pizza crusts in oven for 10 minutes. (I have recently found a thin whole wheat crust that I like---it does not have to be prebaked.)
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, mix your refried beans with taco seasoning and water and simmer til water is evaporated. If you want to get more veggies in, brown up some diced onions and peppers before adding the beans. I also like to stir in some chopped mild chilies.
  • 3. Remove crusts from oven and spread bean mixture on top of the two crusts. Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • 4. Return to oven and bake til sizzling.
  • 5. Top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, green onions and a sprinkling of cheddar or jack cheese. Dress with sour cream, ranch dressing or salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for taco pizzas, but you can also use flour tortillas or even whole wheat tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before assembling the pizza so that they're pliable and don't crack.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about taco pizzas is that you can use any toppings you like. Some popular choices include ground beef, shredded chicken, refried beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream. You can also add other toppings like guacamole, salsa, or jalapeños.
  • Don't overload the pizza: It's important to not overload the pizza with toppings, or it will be difficult to eat. A good rule of thumb is to use no more than 1/2 cup of toppings per 12-inch tortilla.
  • Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The pizza is done baking when the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Taco pizzas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there's sure to be a taco pizza that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give taco pizza a try!
