Tostada Pizza

What you need:

    • 1 lb. ground beef
    • 3/4 cup water
    • 1 can (4 oz.) diced green chillies, drained
    • 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning mix (half a packet)
    • 1 to 2 roma tomatoes, diced
    • 1 tsp. chili powder
    • 1 recipe pizza dough
    • 1 can (15 oz.) refried beans
    • 1+ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (or a mix)
    • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions:

    1. In a large skillet, brown and crumble ground beef until no pink remains. Drain, if needed.
    2. Stir in water, chillies, tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chili powder. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, roll out your pizza dough and place on a pan (I like to dust mine with cornmeal). Bake in a preheated-400 degree oven for about 8 minutes.
    4. Remove from oven and spread refried beans on top, then add your seasoned beef. Top with cheese.
    5. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the edges of the crust are golden brown.
    6. Top with chopped cilantro.
