Taco Pizza

Ingredients:

For the dough:
10 fluid oz. warm water
3/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp active dry yeast

1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
3/4 cup water
1 (1.25 oz) package taco seasoning, divided
1 tsp chili powder, or to taste
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (16 oz) can fat-free refried beans
1/3 cup salsa
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 lb ground beef
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3-4 jalapenos, washed, stemmed, and sliced

Instructions:

Add the water, salt, oil, flour, and yeast to your bread machine in the order listed. Select the dough cycle. Check your dough after it has been mixing a few minutes. If it is too dry and not mixing, add water 1 Tbsp at a time, until it is mixing and has a nice doughy consistency. You want the dough to be pliable but not sticky.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomato paste, water, and 3/4 of the package of taco seasoning mix. Stir in chili powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside. In another bowl, mix refried beans, salsa, and onion. Set aside. In a large skillet, cook ground beef until evenly brown. Drain excess fat. Season with the remaining 1/4 package of taco seasoning and a small amount of water. Simmer a few minutes, then remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

When the dough is finished, remove the dough from the machine. Divide dough in half, and pat into two 12-inch pans. Spread a layer of the bean mixture on, then a layer of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with seasoned beef, jalapenos, and top with cheddar cheese.

Bake in a preheated overn for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Turn pizzas halfway through baking.

Serves 8.
