Description

Taco-seasoned ground beef, tomato sauce, and refried beans top a cauliflower crust in this healthier, pizza-fied version of a tostada.

Ingredients

4 ounces lean ground beef
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 frozen margherita pizza on cauliflower crust
3/4 cup canned refried beans
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2 Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet until browned and crumbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain grease from skillet, stir in tomato sauce and taco seasoning, and cook for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
3 Place frozen pizza on a pizza or round baking pan. Spread refried beans evenly over the crust, followed by a layer of the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle the pizza with shredded Cheddar cheese.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is crispy, edges are golden brown, and cheese is melted, 15 to 17 minutes.
