Meat Lovers Rejoice!

As soon as I saw Heather make a Meatza, I started defrosting my ground beef.

You all know that I am such a lover in grain-free foods, so meatzas are right up my alley (Meat Pizza=Meatza). However, I wasn’t in the mood for regular old pizza (I don’t eat cheese anyway), but I was in the mood for Mexican food. Thus, the Taco Meatza was born!

Taco Meatza

~You can rearrange the recipe however you like to make your favorite pizza. Grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, yeast-free, soy-free, and, of course, sugar-free!

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 package of Taco seasoning (make your own by combining 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika)
  • 1/2 chopped onion
Toppings
  • 1 cup of your favorite salsa (You can make your own using THIS RECIPE)
  • 1 cup cooked rice or crushed tortilla chips
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup chopped veggies (I used onions and bell peppers. Feel free to use whatever you like)
  • optional toppings: guacamole, black olives, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, cheese (if you eat dairy), cilantro
Preheat oven to 450*. Combine all crust ingredients and spread mixture onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes (it will shrink). Drain off beef fat.
Top the crust with salsa and sprinkle the black beans, rice or tortilla chips, and chopped veggies on top. Broil until golden. Serve with your favorite cold ingredients (like the ones listed above or other favorite taco-toppings).

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

What is your favorite pizza topping?

I’m not really picky, and I could eat any pizza topping-as long as it doesn’t have cheese 😉

  3. ohh how awesome, I really want to try this now that I have seen it work for you too.
    P.S i am getting heavily into grain-free foods and hope you post more 😛 I love the ones you have already. – and just curious – do you eat other milk products like yogurt/goat cheese?

  5. Oooh, this is total MAN FOOD and I live in a home full of boys, they’d love this!!

    I think pizza pretty much goes down as the most delicious, versatile, tasty food ever! I love pizza with tomatoes, onions, spinach and feta cheese!

  9. ooh, my favorite pizza ever is deep dish, no cheese, mushrooms & spinach! then i drown it in red pepper flakes. in fact, my favorite topping is probably the red pepper flakes! 🙂

  10. This is so interesting… like an inside out meatloaf! I don’t eat red meat but I’d loooove to try this with turkey! Hmmmm! My faves pizza toppings are pineapple, chopped tomatoes, spinach, broc, and onion! YUMMY!

  12. I have to admit, HEAB’s version scared me a bit, but your taco twist sounds great! I’m such a sucker for Mexican food!

    A pizza’s just not a pizza without bell pepper! mmm!
