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:

tn_gallery_39013_5259_1924102.jpg

- 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.

tn_gallery_39013_5259_780175.jpg

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

tn_gallery_39013_5259_3055102.jpg

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.

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?

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!

I love recipe sharing :)

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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
