Youth Group Snack – Taco Pizza

Taco pizza is as fun to make as it is to eat. My youth group loves pizza and they love tacos. This taco pizza recipe is always a hit.

Things You’ll Need:
1 package (10 oz.) refrigerated pizza dough
1 can (10 oz.) of refried beans
1 lb. of hamburger (turkey burger can be substituted)
½ cup of water
1 packet of Taco Bell taco seasoning
1 cup of Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 medium tomatoes sliced thin chopped
1 head of lettuce chopped
1 cup of chopped onions (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Sour Cream (optional)
1 cup of black olives (optional)
Jalapenos (optional)

Taco pizza is my youth groups favorite way to combine two dishes in one. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lightly spray a 12 inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray. Take your pizza dough and roll it out on your pan.

Build the sides of your crust up. Using a fork, prick the dough generously. Spread your refried beans  over your crust. If you want a thick layer of refried beans, you can add two cans.  Add a layer of Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.

While your crust, refried beans and cheese are baking, brown your burger and onions in a skillet. Drain the grease from your burger and onions.

Return the burger and onions to the skillet and add 1 cup of water and the taco seasoning packet. Stir until Taco seasoning is dissolved. Simmer until most of the water is absorbed.

When crust, refried beans and cheese are ready, carefully remove from oven and spread your taco meat over the melted cheese.

Add a second layer of Kraft Shredded Cheddar cheese over the Taco meat.

Once the Taco meat is added, cut your pizza into slices and serve.

Let the teens build their pizza by adding shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, black olives, jalapeno peppers, salsa, sour cream, etc. Whatever they like on their tacos is what they put on their pizza.

ENJOY!
