Taco Pizza

So I've never been a huge tomato sauce person. I LOVE pizza, but only the pizza where the sauce isn't oozing out the side. I like very minimal sauce. If this is you, I have a new experiment for you to try. The first place I ever had this new creation was at Pizza Shack in Lamoni, Iowa. However, I'm super picky, so I picked off all the olives and tomatoes. This pizza could luck much more colorful and delicious, but it just has the things I like on it, so it's boring.

THIS, is taco pizza. Instead of the traditional tomato sauce on pizza, you use refried beans! I love beans! Which is great for me, and bad for my friends.... With refried beans being the base you can just add any ingredient that you would usually put on your taco. Mine has refried beans, black beans, green peppers, tortilla chips, and mild sauce, but the possibilities are endless! Yo could even add ground beef or chicken to enhance the flavor! Or if you're a economically challenged college student, you can forget the meat, and buy the cheaper ingredients. 

Cooking and preparation takes about 30 minutes total, which really isn't bad! My rule is that if it takes me more than 30 minutes, it's really not worth my time. UNLESS, it is delicious and can be eaten for multiple meals and still be delicious. AND cold taco pizza is just as delicious as cold pepperoni pizza. Top your pizza, heat the oven to 425 degrees, let it sit for 10-15 minutes and you're golden. Next time you can't decide between Mexican or Italian, go for taco pizza!
