Tacos.  Pizza.  Two of the greatest things in the world come together in this recipe to rock your taste buds!  I think this may be the best pizza I’ve ever had.

Taco Pizza
(Print this recipe!)

Ingredients:
1 recipe of your favorite pizza dough- I used this recipe. Or you could use a pre-made pizza crust if you like!** 
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 package tempeh(8ish oz), crumbled
1 package taco seasoning (about 4 T)
1/2 cup water
pizza sauce of choice (or you could use salsa!)
1 cup cheese of choice, I used Daiya pepperjack
topping suggestions: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa, chopped avocado, sour cream, etc…

Directions:
Prepare pizza dough and set aside until you are ready to put your pizzas together.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Over medium heat sauté onions and bell peppers in a little cooking spray until softened.

Add the crumbled tempeh and sauté until it starts to brown.

Add taco seasoning and water.  Stir until water is absorbed.  Remove from heat.

Roll out your pizza dough- I made mine into two smaller pizzas, but you could also do one big pizza if you like.

Top dough with your pizza sauce, your tempeh taco mixture, and a little cheese. (you will most likely have some of the tempeh mixture leftover- it makes a great taco or burrito filling!)

Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melty and bubbling.

Top your pizza with your favorite taco toppings and serve immediately.

**Note: The pizza recipe I linked to makes two regular sized pizzas.  I divided it into 4, used two for this to make two small pizzas and froze the other 2 pieces to use later.  You’ll also need an hour for rising time, so make sure to plan accordingly!
