Taco Pizza

 OH MY GOSH!! This pizza is the BEST!! There is a place in my hometown that has Taco Pizza and I swear that this is a close comparison.  We ate this pizza right up!! I will be making this all the time now!!

Ingredients:
1 lb.lean ground beef
1 ready-to-use baked pizza crust (12 inch)  I used Freschetta Artisan Pizza Crust! We love this crust!
2 cups Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese
1- 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 large tomato, chopped
crushed Doritos
Pizza sauce, optional
Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Place pizza crust on pan.

I used just a couple of spoonfuls of pizza sauce on the crust. (Since this was the first time I made Taco pizza I wasn't sure what it would be like without just a little bit of pizza sauce so I added about 2 TBSP to the crust before placing the meat on the crust.)

Next, place the meat all over the crust and top with Mexican cheese.

Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. 

Remove from oven and immediately cover pizza with lettuce and tomatoes.

Drizzle Taco Sauce on top of pizza and then place crushed Doritos on top. 

ENJOY!!
