Taco Pizza

I used to eat Taco Pizza when I was a kid and we ordered it from Casey's. Well, we dont have a Casey's gas station here so I had to make one from scratch (better that way anyway).

Taco Pizza

1 lb. loaf frozen whole wheat bread dough, thawed (I used pillsbury pizza dough)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
12 oz. extra lean ground beef (or turkey)
1 medium onion, chopped
2/3 cup bottled chunky salsa
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup shredded lettuce and/or spinach
1 cup baked tortilla chips, coarsley crushed
light dairy sour cream and/or salsa-optional

Preheat the over to 425. Lightly coat a 12-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pat dough evenly into a prepared pan, extending edges over pan slightly. Sprinkle half of the cheese in a thin strip around the edge of the dough. Moisten edge of dough. Fold down edge over cheese and seal tightly to enclose the cheese. Prick crust all over with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook the beef and inion until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in 2/3 cup salsa. Top hot crust with meat mixture. Bake 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with tomatoes and remaining cheese. Bake 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese melts. To serve, top with lettuce and tortilla chips. If desired, serve with sour cream and/or additional salsa.
