Tostada Pizza
Ingredients
  • 1
    pound lean ground beef
  • 3/4
    cup water
  • 1
    ounce can diced green chile peppers, drained
  • 2
    tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 1
    teaspoon chili powder
  • 1
    tablespoon cornmeal
  • 1
    13.8 ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1
    15 ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1
    cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1
    cup shredded lettuce
  • 1
    medium tomato, chopped
  • 1/2
    cup thinly sliced green onions (4)
  • Bottled taco sauce (optional)
Directions

1. In a large skillet cook ground beef until brown. Drain off fat. Stir in the water, chile peppers, taco seasoning mix, and chili powder. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone.

2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle with the cornmeal. Unroll pizza dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes.

3. In a small bowl mash pinto beans with a fork. Spread beans over partially baked dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Spoon meat mixture over beans. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes more or until crust is just golden. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Top with lettuce, tomato, and green onions. Cut into 12 pieces. If desired, serve with taco sauce.

4. Makes 6 servings
