Taco Pizza

I like tacos and pizza but never really considered combining the two. This Pillsbury recipe sounds easy to prepare and there are plenty of ways to change it based on what you like. I'm thinking this might be a good recipe for future social gatherings!

Taco Pizza

Ingredients:

1 can (11 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated thin pizza crust

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning mix

1/4 cup water

1 can (4 oz) chopped green chiles, drained

1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, drained

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)

1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce

1 cup seeded chopped tomato (1 large)

crushed corn chips, if desired

salsa, if desired

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray or grease 15x10 inch or larger dark nonstick cookie sheet. Unroll dough on cookie sheet; starting at center, press dough into 15x10 inch rectangle. In 10 inch skillet, cook beef, taco seasoning mix and water as directed on package. Spoon evenly on dough. Top with chiles, olives and cheese. Bake 13 to 16 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Top with remaining ingredients.
