Mexican Pizza

This was me and my brothers favorite thing our mom made back when we were kids. It is so good and a ton fun to make for a group. You can either make your own pizza dough or use store-bought. Serve with chips and salsa and a pitcher of margaritas!

1 Large pizza dough, rolled out
1 can refried beans
1 Lb ground beef or turkey
1 packet taco seasoning
1 1/4 cups shredded cheese (either colby jack or pepper jack)
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1/2 Red onion, chopped
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
aprox. 3 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup sour cream
1 cup salsa

Preheat oven @ 450F
Brown beef, drain fat and add seasoning. Roll out dough and place on pizza pan or stone. Spread beans over dough. Add ground beef, sliced tomatoes, onion, black olives and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Bake for aprox. 10 minutes or until the crust in golden brown. let cool for 5 minutes. Top pizza with shredded lettuce and remaining shredded cheese. Slice and serve with sides of salsa and sour cream.
Feel free to top your taco pizza with your favorite taco toppings. Green chilies, jalapenos and avocado are great additions! Comemos bien!
