Taco Pizza

You may not know it, but pizza can be healthy! I like to make all kinds of combos, but just recently, when craving Doritos, I had the idea to make taco pizza.  Sub re-fried beans for pizza sauce, and top with your taco toppings.  This recipe is pretty basic, but the possibilities are endless!

Servings:  4
Size:  2 pieces, 1/4 of pizza
Points Plus: 8 pts
Level of Difficulty:  Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time:  10-15 minutes
Rating: 3 stars - Good

Looks Better in Person!
Ingredient List:
1 whole wheat Boboli pizza crust
1 cup fat free re-fried beans
1 cup lettuce, chopped 
1 tomato, cubed
1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar
1 cup raw onion, any kind
1 cup jalapenos
9 Doritos, nacho cheese, crushed

Toppings (optional but calculated into Points Plus)
8 Tbsp reduced-fat sour cream
Salsa!

Directions:
Preheat oven to package directions. Open pizza crust and smear on beans until evenly covered.  Add lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese, jalapenos and crushed Doritos. Put on pizza stone and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked to desired crispness. Top with sour cream and salsa!

Tip:
When making home made pizza it is easy to get carried away on toppings and overload your pie causing it to be soggy and limp.  Err (had to look up the spelling of that!) on the light side so you can enjoy a crispy crust!

  1. I made this tonight and it was delicious! I chose to put my lettuce on fresh, after the pizza was done baking to avoid it from wilting while baking.
