I just love a good homemade pizza. It's a fun thing to make, and the whole family can get involved. It's also a really good time to get creative with toppings. This particular one is inspired by the taco pizzas I used to get in elementary school and the ones occasionally seen at pizza buffet restaurants.
The base for the pizza is chili, instead of tomato sauce, and let me tell you, it was such a good idea. I used this chili recipe, which is one of my favorites, but you could probably use any chili or chili- like soup. It's a creative way to use up leftovers. I put down some of the chili, and then topped it with cheese and sliced green bell pepper. I baked it in the oven until the crust was browned and the cheese was bubbly.
I then topped it with sliced Romaine lettuce, avocado, and more cheese, because more cheese is always a good thing. It was so good! Make this soon for a fun way to use up some of your big batch chili leftovers.
Taco Pizza
all ingredients may be adjusted to feed your crowd.
1 pizza dough ball or prepared pizza crust
1-2 cups chili
1 cup cheddar or other cheese of your choice
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 avocado, diced
Salsa or taco sauce
Preheat your oven to its highest setting and place a pizza stone in the oven on the center rack. Allow it to preheat for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prep your crust according to recipe or package directions. Top with a thin layer of chili and cheese and bake for about 10 minutes, or until crust is browned and toppings are melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and allow the pizza to rest on a cooling rack about 2-3 minutes. Top with lettuce, some remaining cheese, and the diced avocado. You can also top with salsa or taco sauce for additional taco flavor. Slice and serve.
