Time 2h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 fluid ounces warm water
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
¾ cup water
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix, divided
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
⅓ cup salsa
¼ cup chopped onion
½ pound ground beef
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Add the water, salt, oil, flour and yeast to your bread machine in the order listed. Select the dough cycle. Check your dough after it has been mixing a few minutes. If it is too dry and not mixing, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is mixing and has a nice dough consistency. You want the dough to be pliable but not sticky.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomato paste, water, and 3/4 of the package of taco seasoning mix. Stir in chili powder and cayenne pepper; set aside. In another bowl, mix refried beans, salsa, and onion; set aside. In a large skillet, cook ground beef until evenly brown; drain excess fat. Season with the remaining 1/4 package of taco seasoning and a small amount of water. Simmer a few minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough from the machine. Divide the dough in half, and pat into two 12 inch pans. Spread a layer of the bean mixture on, then a layer of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with seasoned beef and top with cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Turn pizzas halfway through baking.

TACO SQUARES

Created this recipe one day to serve for lunch with a friend, and also shared them with a neighbor. It was a big hit. These squares are easy to make and delicious!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 6 squares, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) can crescent roll dough
1 1/2-2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 (1 ounce) packages old el paso taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
0.5 (6 ounce) can water
1 (8 ounce) package shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
salt and pepper, to taste
2 medium tomatoes, finely diced and seasoned with a little salt and pepper
sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x12 inch oblong pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Brown ground beef, then place in a colander to drain fat.
  • In the same pan, cook onions, then add cooked ground beef, taco seasoning mix, garlic powder, tomato paste and water (half of the empty tomato paste can filled with water). Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until well combined and sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place taco beef in a colander to allow any excess sauce to drain (this will keep crust from getting soggy).
  • Place crescent roll dough in prepared pan, and spread out with fingers to touch the sides. Press down on perforated edges to close them.
  • Place drained taco beef on top of dough, then cover with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and dough is lightly browned.
  • Cut into squares and top each serving with diced tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream.
  • Makes 6 generous servings.
  • VARIATIONS: If desired, you can use light or fat free sour cream for the garnish. You can also substitute cheese with a package of shredded Mexican or Taco flavored cheese if you want.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pizza Crust: You can use pre-made pizza dough, refrigerated pizza dough, or even flatbreads as the base for your taco pizza squares. If you're short on time, store-bought options can save you a lot of time and effort.
  • Pick Your Favorite Taco Fillings: Ground beef, seasoned chicken, or shredded pork are all classic choices for taco fillings. You can also use plant-based alternatives like tofu or tempeh. Don't forget to add your favorite taco seasonings to give the filling that authentic Mexican flavor.
  • Go Creative with Toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings. Classic Mexican toppings like shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, and sour cream are always a hit. But you can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or black beans to make it more colorful and nutritious.
  • Use a Baking Sheet: Instead of a pizza pan, use a baking sheet to bake your taco pizza squares. This will allow the air to circulate around the pizza, resulting in a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pizza: When adding toppings, don't overload the pizza. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.

Conclusion:

Taco pizza squares are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy crust, flavorful fillings, and endless topping options, it's the perfect meal for busy weeknights, parties, or potlucks. So next time you're craving a Mexican-inspired dish, give taco pizza squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
