Mexican Pizza

Looking around on Pinterest the other day for a recipe, I came across a dish that looked SO good and easy to make! Out of all the ingredients I only needed the crescent rolls so I sent my husband on a quick grocery store run. The original recipe can be found here. The only thing I changed was no green onions and I put the tomatoes under the cheese. The kids (all 3 of them) had seconds and my husband scraped off the olives and had thirds on it! Also, we do not normally eat red meat but I thought I would stick with the recipe the first time through. Next time will be with ground turkey.

Pretty good, easy, fast dish if you ask me!

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1 envelope taco seasoning mix

2 (8 oz.) cans Pillsbury crescent rolls

1 (16 oz.) can refried beans (I used the jalapeño kind)

2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend

1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup sliced black olives

4 green onions, chopped

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brown ground beef or turkey and drain. Add any taco seasoning to the ground meat according to the package directions.

Unroll crescent rolls into rectangles. Place in ungreased 11 1/2 inch x 16 1/2 inch jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Press dough over the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides to form crust. Bake at 375 oven for 11 to 13 

minutes or just until golden brown (this took about 15 minutes for me).

Microwave beans in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute. Carefully spread beans over warm crust creating a thin layer.

Top with cooked meat mixture, sprinkle with cheese followed by tomatoes, black olives and green onion. Return to oven for 3-6 more minutes until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
