Twig'S Taco Pizza

1. 1

   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).

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Warm up the refried beans in the same pan you used to cook the ground beef just enough to make the beans spreadable.

4. 4

   Spread the beans on the pizza dough evenly. Top with the ground beef. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese over beef and beans.

5. 5

   Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until dough is golden and the toppings are hot.

6. 6

   Immediately cut the pizza into slices, leaving the slices in the pan.

7. 7

   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.).

8. 8

   Serve with taco sauce & sour cream if you like.
