I made serveral changes to this recipe but it was great! I used a canned pizza crust and then used enchilada sauce instead of pizza sauce and taco sauce. Which tasted awesome! Browned taco seasoned ground turkey with a chopped chipolte chili and added jalepeno refried beans once the meat was cooked. I added the cheese, put it back in the oven to melt the cheese and then added the lettuce, tomato, onion etc. I also used sliced jalepenos and topped it all off with green chili with pork...omg...the kids scarffed it down! Great starter recipe. A real keeper in our house.

YUM! I made some changes to suit us but followed your general recipe. I used 1lb. ground turkey and seasoned according to the meat amount. I added chicken broth while cooking the meat. I knew it was going to be cooked twice so I wanted it really moist to keep it from drying out. I did leave out the pizza sauce (personal pref) but the taco sauce was right on. Now our regular pizza has some competition. I will make this again. It's also a nice change from tacos all the time. Best to eat it all at one sitting since taco toppings don't reheat well. It wasn't a problem for us ;)

I also cooked my crust on the grill (one side and flip, add sauce, meat, and cheese to melt). This was delicious and very attractive with the lettuce/tomato. Thanks SwoR, for posting. Roxygirl

My son is nuts about Pizza Pipeline's 26" taco pizza. Now I'm one up on them. I made a 30" Taco Pizza using your recipe, adapting it to the grill. A bit awkward, but the guys thought it was great. Next time I will make smaller ones. Just wanted to prove to my son, he didn't have to pay an outragious price for a good pizza. Thanks for sharing.
