Description

I love Mexican food, and I love pizza. So I combined the best of both in this hearty pizza recipe. People seem to just love it…especially my brothers and other guys!

Ingredients

  • 1 package (6-1/2 ounces) pizza crust mix
  • 1 teaspoon cornmeal
  • 3/4 pound ground beef
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Prepare pizza dough according to package directions. Coat a 12-in. pizza pan with cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. With floured hands, press dough onto pan. Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the chili powder, salt and pepper.
  3. Combine salsa and sour cream; spread over crust to within 1 in. of edges. Top with beef mixture, tomatoes, olives and cheese. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle with crushed chips; bake 5-6 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. If desired, top with cilantro.
