Taco Pizza

[TapSnap 357]

It was brought up that the math for the calories and Protein could be wrong. they have it as 135cal. and 14g of Protein. Ill be checking my math tomorrow morning. either way its still a good.

Taco pizza

Ingredients:

- One medium-large sized egg

- 1lb lean ground beef (also good with ground chicken)

- One pack of taco seasoning (I used the reduced sodium one)

- 1/2 can of refriend Beans

- 1/2 bag of reduced fat cheese

- 1/2 can of salsa (I use chunky)

Extras:

- Light sour cream

- Lettuce

- Onion

- Peppers

Any Veggies you want to add go right a head.

Directions:

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and either wrap a pizza pan or baking sheet with tin foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Mix ground beef and egg in a large bowl. Then slowly add the taco seasoning till it becomes doughy. Start spreading out ground beef on the tin foil like a pizza. You want it about 1/4in. thick.

Once you have it spread out place in the oven for 20-25 mins. After you take it out cut into it a bit to make sure it’s fully cooked. If it looks good use paper towels to wipe of all the extra taco seasoning and grease that his leaked out from cooking.

This is what it will look like before wiping it off. Below is what it should look like after wiping if off.

Now add your refried Beans and spread it out over you ground beef crust.

Now add you salsa the same way.

Now you add the cheese to the top.

Put taco pizza back into the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I cut my pizza into 10 slices. This gives me two slices a day for 5 days at work (my first and second breaks).

Add any extra toppings to it and enjoy. If you cut your pizza into 10 slices and just add light sour cream it comes to about 300 cal. and 38g of protein a slice.

Awesome yummy idea .. Thanks!

Just thinking. It would take me 2 weeks to eat it. I may start with a reg patty and make it the size of a mini personal pizza.< /p>

Now I'm hungry

Looks like a cool recipe. I'm kind curious though. How did you calculate the nutrition on this? (forgive me I am a chef and I am always looking at this stuff). I have app that I use at work and hashed this through it based on your post and got 135 kcals, 9g carbs 5g fat 14g Protein and 572 g of sodium for 1/10 of the recipe. Are you saying that a serving is 2/10s of your "pie"? which would make sense looking at the NV. Again just curious, I'm a food science geek and these are things that always appeal to me.

I might have done the math wrong. I checked it twice but that doesn’t mean I didn’t do it wrong. Ill takes the title down till I check it again. but what I did was add up all the calories for each ingredient and divided it by ten because I cut it into ten pieces. Like for the Beans the can was 8 servings. So I used a half a can so when I took the calorie part from the can I timed it by 4 because I used for servings. I did this with everything. I did the same thing with the Protein. I figured that was the right way to do it.

Ill do the math again when I get home and see what I get.

Does this sound right to you?

I am making this fantastic sounding dish right now!

It smells fantastic as this is cooking

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

The vote is in! My family and I loved this recipe!

I used lean ground turkey instead of ground beef. It cooked up fine, and I utilized the paper-towel method to soak up any excess fat that cooked off that you recommended, TapSnap! I have not tried to eat any red meat as of yet since I was "sleeved". I'm still cautious about my tummy...

I also added a teaspoon of fresh avocado (with a squeeze of lemon juice) for my "topping" after I melted the cheese in the oven. That was a great treat too!

Thank you for posting this recipe, TapSnap!

Sounds great! I made crab cakes from a recipe from my book, "recipes for after Weight-Loss Surgery". They were made with no flour or corn meal to "bind" them.

I have been gluten-free since surgery. I have Lupus--and I think gluten-free eating has helped my joint pain.

If anybody's interested in the crab cake recipe, I'll post it but I have not found a recipe in my book as much as I liked your recipe for taco pizza!
