Make dough by using
bread machine, make it yourself, or use a store bought pizza dough.
Pizza Sauce for two
pizzas
14.5 ounce can fire
roasted stewed tomatoes
12 ounce can tomato
paste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic,
chopped
1/2 small yellow
onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili
powder
1/4 teaspoon
coriander
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup water
In a medium size
sauce pan, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil for about five minutes. Add
all other ingredients stir, cover and cook on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Once done, set aside. You will have some sauce left over when making
only one pizza. Tomato sauce will freeze very well for another day.
Pizza Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive
oil
1.5 lbs hamburger
1 package taco
seasoning
1 16 ounce can
no-fat refried beans, heated in microwave for about one minute
1 medium to large
tomato, chopped.
3 ounce chopped
black olives
1 small red onion,
chopped
2-3 cups shredded
Mexican cheese
1/2 head iceberg
lettuce, chopped
About 4-5 handfuls
of corn chips, crushed
Sour cream
(optional)
Salsa (optional)
Directions
While dough is
rising and sauce is cooking, cook beef with taco seasoning, set aside. Chop all
other ingredients and set aside. Heat refried beans and set aside. Once all
ingredients are ready, roll pizza dough out to fit the size of your pan. I make
a large batch of pizza dough, roll it out to about 1/3 of an inch and then
place my pan over the dough and cut around the edge to make an evenly round pie
that fits my pan exactly. Brush entire dough surface with olive oil. The rest
of the dough can be made into another pizza or kneaded into a ball and set
aside to allow another rise (more on this at the end of this recipe.) Once
dough is on pan, spread an even amount of sauce over dough (you will have sauce
left over for another pizza if only making one pizza.) Spread the warmed
refried beans over sauce. Sprinkle an even amount of cheese over entire surface
of pizza, sprinkle top with seasoned hamburger, onions, olives, and chopped
tomatoes. Bake pie at 400 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes. Check it
after 15-20 to see if the crust is browning and the ingredients in the middle
are cooking (just keep in mind what a pizza looks like in a restaurant to judge
doneness.) The crust edges should be a golden brown and the middle of the pizza
should be very hot. When pizza is done cooking, remove from oven and
immediately slide pizza onto a cutting board. Cut pizza slices to desired size.
Sprinkle top of pizza with several handfuls of crushed corn chips or Doritos.
The chips are a judgment call on your part. Sprinkle the lettuce and serve with
optional sour cream and salsa.
Optional Left-Over
dough: cut three shallow cuts into top, brush entire top with olive oil,
lightly sprinkle with garlic powder and italian seasoning. Bake for
approximately 30 minutes at 400 degrees or until bread sounds hollow when
tapped and is a golden brown.
