How to make Mexican Pizza
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Prepare a 12” pizza pan with a light coating of oil or non-stick spray. Click for a 12” pizza pan with high sides.
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water (110 degrees). The temperature is right when it just barely feels warm to your fingers. Water that is too hot will kill the yeast.
Let the yeast mixture stand for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
While the yeast activates, dice the onion, tomato, green onion, and black olives.
Brown the ground beef and onions in a frying pan, for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and enchilada sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes.
To the activated yeast mixture, add the flour, oil, and salt and stir, or mix in a stand mixer, until a soft dough forms.
If the dough is too wet, mix in additional flour one tablespoon at a time until it is no longer sticky. If it's too dry, mix in additional water one tablespoon at a time.
On a clean floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a circle, about 15” wide. Click for a non-stick rolling pin.
Place the dough in the pizza pan and roll a small edge around the outside of the dough.
Pour the meat sauce mixture onto the crust and spread out to the rolled edge.
Top with shredded cheese, tomatoes, green onions, and black olives.
Bake for about 15 minutes.
Allow to cool about 5 minutes before serving.
Slice into 6 pieces and drizzle with sour cream if desired.
