Taco Pizza

So last night I was really in the mood for taco pizza from east of Chicago.  Sadly, they didn't deliver where we were. R talked me into going shopping and making our own and I think we nailed it!

Shopping:
Pizza crust
Mild salsa
Morning star crumbles (want to try with ground beef)
A packet of taco seasoning
Onion
Iceberg lettuce
Colby jack shredded cheese (finely shredded)
sour cream

Prep:
Cook about half lb meat but use full packet of seasoning
Finely dice the onion
Shred the lettuce

Assemble:
On crust spoon out salsa and spread out like you would pizza sauce. Then add the meat and top with about 3/4 of the cheese and 1/2 of onion

Bake according to crust package directions

Top with sour cream (we put ours in a baggie, snipped off a corner and drizzled it on) lettuce, remaining onion and cheese.

Wait about 5-10 minutes for pizza to cool enough to eat and let rest of cheese melt.

East of Chicago also adds diced tomatoes and sliced olives but we omitted those due to taste preferences. 

I'll add pictures next time we make it!
