TACO PIZZA

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

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.
