Ingredients

1
pound lean ground beef
3/4
cup water
1
4 ounce can diced green chilie peppers, drained
1/2
1 1/2 ounce envelope (about 2 tablespoons) taco seasoning mix
1
teaspoon chili powder
1
tablespoon cornmeal
1
10 ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
1
15 ounce can pinto beans with jalapeno peppers, 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, grease a baking sheet and sprinkle with the cornmeal. Pat pizza dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle on the baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree F oven 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. If desired, serve with taco sauce. Makes 6 servings.
