Garth's Taco Pizza
From Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life [1] by Trisha Yearwood
Notes
People always ask me, “Does Garth cook?” and I say “Yes!” I’m not sure they believe me, but he’s really the “whatever it takes” guy. He is always ready to make supper if I don’t have time, or even if I’m just not in the mood to cook. He came up with this awesome idea for making tacos into pizza — his favorite two meals in one! Add crumbled cooked ground beef or shredded chicken with taco seasoning to give it that classic taco flavor!
Trisha Tip: Garth likes extra-mild picante. I use medium to hot.
Ingredients
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can premade pizza crust dough (I like Pillsbury)
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
1/2 cup mild picante sauce
3/4 cup sliced green or black olives
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
Salt to taste
1 cup finely diced tomato (about 1 large or 30 grape tomatoes)
12 ounces shredded lettuce (about 1 large head)
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Roll the pizza dough out and fit onto a 15-inch pizza pan or baking sheet. In a medium bowl, mix together the beans and picante sauce until combined. Spread the mixture onto the crust, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Scatter the olives over the crust, then top with the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
- While the crust is baking, lightly salt the tomatoes, then, in a medium bowl, toss them with the lettuce and sour cream. Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the cool lettuce mixture.
