This week we decided to make a quick and easy taco pizza at home! We've used Midamar's taco seasoned beef a lot recently but... it's so good. It's also so easy to use, you heat up however much you want and leave the rest frozen and that's it. Personally, I love taco pizza, I know it's a midwestern choice normally, but if you have to try it.
Taco pizza comes in a multitude of ways, and today I'll be focusing on my two favorite ways to make it. For starters, a taco pizza is essentially different based on sauce. I made a refried bean sauce for one and used taco sauce for the sauce on the other. If you're going for a recipe that's as easy as possible, I'd do the taco sauce based recipe, but if you have a 5 extra minutes the refried bean sauce is just as good. So, that's sauces sorted, but what about toppings?
Toppings are the other big piece of what separates varieties of taco pizza. Some used just taco meat, other's used taco meat and beef topping, but the standard toppings are: beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and nacho chips. But that's just the starting, from there literally anything you could put on a taco can on this pizza. Onion, olives, peppers, hot sauce, corn if you're feeling really daring.
No matter how you make taco pizza, it is one of the best way to mix up pizza night! Don't want to make it yourself? Tell your local pizzeria to call Midamar! We have a full line of pizza toppings products that everyone can enjoy.
