With all the posts recently about homemade Mexican food and pizza. I thought I'd throw one out there for all of us who are either to lazy to make things from scratch or are culinary deficient. This is as close to authentic Mexican food that I've had. Pretty sad I know.
So lets get the ball rolling: First up the fix'ins.
Brown the beef up. This is close to 3 pounds of 85/15. I couldn't get 90/10. Once browned - drain the grease and put it back into the pan with 2.5 cups of water and the appropriate amount of Taco seasoning(3 packs for this attempt). Stirring occasionally until the water is basically gone.
Then spread the re-fried beans evenly over the pizza dough.
Then top the with the ground meat. I didn't use all 3 pounds. Probably about a half of it. Note: Be careful not to get to close to the edge of the dough.
Add a few spoons of chunky salsa.
And top with some shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Side shot:
Bake at 450* until the cheese has melted
Top with rough diced tomatoes
...and rough chopped lettuce
Since I know I can't eat 4 slices of pizza. I cut the pizza into qtrs. That way I can stick with my 2 slices.
Thanks for looking at my authentic New England Mexican pizza.
