Twigs Taco Pizza Recipes

MEXICAN TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F and line one or two sheet pans with parchment paper or a Silpat; set aside.*
• To a large skillet, add the onion, beef, olive oil if necessary, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until beef is cooked through and onions are soft and translucent; crumble beef as it cooks and stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
• Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Take skillet off the heat and set aside.
• Place the frozen pizza crusts directly from the freezer on either one or two sheet pans, depending on the exact size of your crusts and pans.
• Add an equal amount of the refried beans to both crusts, leaving a bare 1-inch margin from the edges.
• Add an equal amount of the beef mixture to both crusts.
• Add 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese to each crust.
• Add 1 cup cheddar cheese to each crust.
• Bake for about 12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crusts are as cooked through as desired.
• Add an equal amount of tomato and cilantro as desired to both crusts and serve immediately. Pizza is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F with a pizza stone in the oven.
• To make the taco pizza, we start with stretching a portion of Pizza dough over a 12-inch pizza pan. Make sure to dust your pan with semolina to keep it from sticking. Stretch the dough slightly larger than the pan to allow yourself an edge to roll your crust. Then apply 1/2 cup of the Salsa and spread evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella and 1 ounce of the Cheddar-Jack evenly across the salsa. (Keep the cheese within the pan so that you can roll your crust.) Roll the border of un-topped dough into a crust and place in the oven. Spin the pizza frequently to insure even cooking; it should take 5 to 6 minutes to cook. Once the crust is golden brown, gently slide it off the pan and onto the stone to brown the bottom. This should take about 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the oven and place back on the pizza pan. Cut the pizza into 6 slices. Then top in this order: crushed tortillas, taco beef, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, remaining 1 ounce Cheddar-Jack cheese, jalapeños, cilantro.
• Start by placing the flour, brown sugar, yeast and salt in a stand mixer and mix for approximately 3 minutes. You then slowly add the water around the edges, then the oil. Mix for 16 to 18 minutes. Once everything is mixed remove the dough, divide into 12-ounce portions, loosely cover and store in the fridge for 48 hours to allow to rise properly.
• Combine the garlic, jalapeños, bell pepper, white onion, cilantro, water, chili powder, granulated garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, salt and lime juice in a food processor and run until has a slightly chunky consistency.

TWIG'S TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare your favorite pizza dough and roll it out onto a 14 inch pizza pan. (I use a thick and chewy type dough so your cooking time may vary if you choose a thin crust or a pan crust).
• Brown 1 lb of ground beef with one package of taco seasoning mix. (I don't add the water the mix calls for.) Drain ground beef and set aside to cool.
• Warm up the refried beans in the same pan you used to cook the ground beef just enough to make the beans spreadable.
• Spread the beans on the pizza dough evenly. Top with the ground beef. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese over beef and beans.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until dough is golden and the toppings are hot.
• Immediately cut the pizza into slices, leaving the slices in the pan.
• Spread the lettuce over the top, sprinkle with tomatoes, onions, and the rest of the cheese. (I used about 3/4 of a head of lettuce, 3/4 of a tomato, and an entire small onion -- but you could use 1/3 that and still have a hearty pizza.).
• Serve with taco sauce & sour cream if you like.

TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• 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 tablespoon at a time, until it is mixing and has a nice dough 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 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough from the machine. Divide the 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 and top with cheddar cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Turn pizzas halfway through baking.
