Instructions
- Mix together the refried beans and a couple tablespoons of taco seasoning. Â (Just give it a taste to make sure it is flavorful enough.) If the refried beans are too thick, you can thin them out with a bit of water or some of the salsa.
- Toss the diced chicken with about a tablespoon of the taco seasoning.
Spread the refried beans over the pizza crust. - Add a thin layer of salsa (I recommend the thick and chunky so the salsa is not too watery, if using regular salsa, be careful not to use too much. Â You don’t want the center of the pizza to be too soggy.
- Add the diced chicken to the pizza and any other and any other topping you are using that can be baked.
- Top with a couple handfuls of the shredded cheese and bake pizza in a pre-heated oven according to the directions of the pizza crust you are using. Â (I will sometimes pre-bake my pizza crust for a minute or two, whether the directions call for it or not…)
- After the pizza has finished baking, top with your cool ingredients, such as tomatoes, lettuce cilantro, sour cream.
- I added a drizzle of taco sauce (taco bell taco sauce- love that stuff and buy it by the bottle) and sour cream. Â To make the sour cream drizzle, add a tiny bit of water to the sour cream until it’s the right consistency to drizzle.
Enjoy your pizza!
