Taco Pizza Dressed To Please
What do you do when everybody wants something different for dinner?
Fast Food!
But not take out, just good food fast! I make a mash-up of leftovers made into a quick and tasty dish.
Today, that was pizza and taco fixings with leftover kale.
Really, it was great tasting dinner and everyone had what they wanted.
Since most of the ingredients are added after the pizza is baked, everyone can choose what they want with this Taco Pizza.
these are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 10.75 ounce pkg. Crunchy Taco Dinner Kit
- 12 inch ready to use baked pizza crust
- 1 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Four Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 cup sliced black olives
- 1 bunch shredded kale
- 1 cup salsa, hot sauce optional.
- 6 dollops sour cream, optional
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- HEAT oven to 400°F.
- COOK meat with Taco Seasoning Mix as directed on package. Spread onto pizza crust; top with cheese. Place directly on oven rack.
- BAKE 8 to 10 min. or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- TOP with lettuce and tomatoes. Crush Taco Shells; sprinkle over pizza. Drizzle with Salsa, hot sauce or sauce of your choosing.
- Add sour cream if desired.
NOTES:
OPTIONAL:
- Top with sliced green onions and black olives before serving.
- Add sour cream and greens per taste.
- Substitute 1 pkg. (1-1/4 oz.) TACO BELL® Taco Seasoning Mix, 6 TACO BELL® Taco Shells and 1/2 cup TACO BELL® Thick & Chunky Salsa for the taco dinner kit.
- Prepare using KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese.

We love the crunchy taco shells so those were broken into bite size pieces.
I added hamburger with seasoning mix, but I left a portion of the pizza using crumbles of Ready Hour Taco Vegetable Meat Substitute for my daughter-in-law and Miss Jo as they are meatless eaters.
i then added enough cheese to satisfy the crowd, and then some, and threw it into the oven.
Once it smelled done and I could se the crust was golden brown I set it on a rack to cool just a bit.
Then we each took our share and the race for the toppings began!
We had black olives, beans, avocado, sour cream, green, orange, red and yellow peepers in their own ramikens.
Lettuce, kale and sour cream were also available. the sauces for the top were optional.
i believe everyone was satisfied because their was no fighting and no leftovers to clean up and put away.
I am thinking the next pizza mash up night will be a Chili Dog Pizza I saw on a menu.
What do you throw together at the end of the day? See below the recipe card for more of my crazy combinations!
