TOSTADA PIZZA

Very tasty and quite easy. Note: Do not put veggies on the whole pizza if you want to have leftovers...they get yucky when you try to re-heat. I also like to substitute pepper jack cheese for cheddar.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1 1/2 ounces taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough

Steps:

In large skillet cook meat until brown. Drain off fat. Stir in 3/4 cup water, chile peppers, taco seasoning mix, and chile powder.

Spoon meat mixture over beans. Bake uncovered, 10 minutes more, or until crust is just golden.
Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 1-2 minutes more (until cheese melts).
Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion. If desired, serve with taco sauce.

I came up with this when I was craving CPK's Tostada Pizza. It's so easy to put together and it tastes and looks so fresh. I will definately be taking a picture of this one the next time I make it. Baking time is approximate depending on what brand of crust you use.

Tips:

Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some popular options include cheese, pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. You can also add cooked chicken, beef, or vegetables.
Don't overload the tostadas: Too many toppings will make the tostadas soggy and difficult to eat. Keep it to a single layer of toppings so that the tostada stays crispy.
Bake the tostadas at a high temperature: This will help to crisp up the tostadas and prevent them from becoming soggy. Aim for a temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Watch the tostadas closely while they are baking: They can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Tostada pizzas are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a simple weeknight dinner. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there is something for everyone to enjoy. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy recipe, give tostada pizzas a try!
