Taco Pizza

Homemade pizza is always a favorite in my house, with kids and grownups alike. This one also happens to taste like tacos—making it twice as popular. Tweak the ingredients to suit your dinner crowd. (from Babble)

fresh pizza dough, leave it out for a bit before starting
1 cup salsa
one pound of ground chicken, beef or turkey
taco seasoning
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups shredded monterey jack or cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cook the ground meat with the taco seasoning, then mix in the beans.

Press the pizza dough into a lightly oiled pan with your fingers. Spoon salsa evenly over dough, then sprinkle with the cheese. Scatter the meat/bean mixture over the top (you probably will not need it all—use the leftovers to make tortilla pizzas or quesadillas another night). Bake for 14-16 minutes or until bubbly, then top the cooked pizza with scallions and cilantro.

*Omit the chicken/beef/turkey and add extra beans plus diced mixed peppers or roasted corn to make this a great Meatless Monday meal.
