This is my version of TACO PIZZA. . It is different than the taco pizzas I used to get at a pizzeria in Savanah Illinois. They also put grass on top of their pizzas. My version is grass free.
BTW,,,
grass equals shredded lettuce.
Just to mention a truth,,, I did like the Savannah Pizza.
Here is play by play.
Made the Taco Meat. I used one pound ground beef, and one pound ground turkey.
Turned skillet on angle, and collected the liquid portion into cup
Poured that liquid into bowl containing refried beans. The refried beans in picture are already warmed up in a microwave to be somewhat loose. I also always use fat free refried beans. REASON; other refried beans that do contain fat,, usually the fat is LARD. I did not want the lard to affect the taste.
This is how the refried beans with taco gravy look. I use Taco Seasoning packet, and some Cowboy Chili powder, (plus water) to fry up my taco meat. The chili powder is optional, but I wanted to zest the flavor a little.
I put about ½ of the bowl quantity on my pizza dough.
I spread it and it looks like below.
Added about ½ of my meat quantity and spread it as pictured below.
This is the Cheese I used. Envelope was 12 OZ.
Ready for the oven. I bake my pizzas @ 450°F. This one was ready in about 17 minutes.
Out of oven
Ready to be cut into slices and eaten.
Notes..
The meat is pre-cooked, and so are the refried beans. After 17 minutes, I peeked into oven, and seen the dough with a nice oven spring,,, and the Cheese nicely melted. Baking times can vary depending on oven,,, oven temperature setting, and such. Most of my pizzas are baked from 15 to 20 minutes. The heavier pizzas with more ingredients I usually go towards the 20 minute time.
