Mexican Pizza Retro Pizza Hut Style Recipes

Steps:

• Cook chicken, cube and simmer in Ortega picante sauce.
• Roll out one can of premade Pillsbury pizza dough, bake for five minutes flip dough and bake for five minutes more. I like my crust crispy and thin.
• Remove dough from oven spread refried beans onto dough like pizza sauce. Top with chicken, onion, and cheese. Cook for ten minutes.
• Remove from oven and finish by topping with lettuce, tomatoes, more Ortega sauce, and black olives. Add sour cream if you need to.
• Slice and enjoy.

Steps:

• Prepare your favorite pizza dough and roll it out onto a 14 inch pizza pan. (I use a thick and chewy type dough so your cooking time may vary if you choose a thin crust or a pan crust).
• Brown 1 lb of ground beef with one package of taco seasoning mix. (I don't add the water the mix calls for.) Drain ground beef and set aside to cool.
• Warm up the refried beans in the same pan you used to cook the ground beef just enough to make the beans spreadable.
• Spread the beans on the pizza dough evenly. Top with the ground beef. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese over beef and beans.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until dough is golden and the toppings are hot.
• Immediately cut the pizza into slices, leaving the slices in the pan.
• Spread the lettuce over the top, sprinkle with tomatoes, onions, and the rest of the cheese. (I used about 3/4 of a head of lettuce, 3/4 of a tomato, and an entire small onion -- but you could use 1/3 that and still have a hearty pizza.).
• Serve with taco sauce & sour cream if you like.
