Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup canola oil, for frying
4 corn tortillas, sliced into thin strips
Olive oil, for oiling the baking sheet
1/2 cup good-quality salsa, plus more for serving
1 bag Chicken Taco Meat (partially thawed if frozen), recipe follows
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 head green leaf lettuce, sliced or thinly shredded
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons hot sauce, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
Salt
One 14-ounce can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • For the pizza dough: Mix the yeast with 1 1/2 cups warm water in a measuring cup or small bowl and set aside for 8 to 10 minutes. Mix together the flour, olive oil and salt in a bowl using an electric mixer. With the speed on low, drizzle in the yeast/water mixture and mix until totally combined. Cover the bowl with a towel and set in a warm, draft-free place. Allow to rise for 1 to 2 hours.
  • For the tortilla strips: In a small skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat until a test tortilla strip dropped in the oil sizzles immediately. Drop in the remaining tortilla strips in batches, frying them quickly and removing them from the oil with a fork when crisp, 30 to 45 seconds per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • For the taco pizza: Position an oven rack in the bottom position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet with some olive oil.
  • Remove half of the pizza dough from the bowl. (Place the remaining half in a large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate, saving it for another use.) With your hands, spread the dough out on the oiled baking sheet, making sure it's relatively thin. Spread a thin layer of the salsa all over the crust, then spread a layer of the Chicken Taco Meat on top of the salsa. Sprinkle the grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
  • Place the baking sheet on the bottom rack in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, watching to make sure the crust doesn't burn. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle on the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and cilantro leaves.
  • Mix together the sour cream and hot sauce in a small bowl, adding enough hot sauce to make the mixture pourable. With a spoon (or you can put it in a pastry bag), drizzle the mixture over the finished pizza. Sprinkle with the tortilla strips. Cut into squares and serve immediately with more salsa.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat until hot. Add the chicken in batches and cook, browning, a couple minutes per side; remove the chicken to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and cook briefly. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt to taste. Pour in the tomato sauce and 2 cups water to create a broth. Add the chicken back to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the broth is reduced by half.
  • Let cool, divide among 4 freezer bags and freeze. Yield: 16 to 20 servings.

~ CHICKEN TACO PIZZA ~



~ Chicken Taco Pizza ~ image

This was our meal for Cinco de Mayo. This is my recipe I put together with what I had and it sure was a hit with my family. I'll be making it again and again. I used chicken as my daughter not a ground beef fan. We all love chicken, and was it ever wonderful on this pizza. I decided to mix the sauce with the chicken to keep it...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb thinly sliced, boneless chicken breast
1 onion chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/4 tsp salt & pepper
1/2 tsp each - cumin, chili powder, onion powder, italian seasoning
1 tsp dried garlic flakes
1 - 15 oz tomato sauce
1 1/4 oz taco seasoning
about 1/2 tsp sugar
1 - 16 inch pizza crust or 2 - 12 inch
3 - 4 c mixed cheeses - i used a combo of what i had - montery jack, mozzarella and cheddar
4 green onion, sliced - tops too
toppings lettuce, tomato, black olives, green onion, sliced jalapeno's taco sauce, sour cream, nacho chips, corn chips, whatever you like on your taco's

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium - high heat, add olive oil and then add the onion and chopped jalapeno. Now, add the thin sliced chicken, salt and pepper and stir frequently. Once chicken is cooked add the other spices and mix.
  • 2. Pour in the sauce and stir, then stir in the taco packet and sugar. Simmer this for about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  • 3. Take your pre baked crust and spread chicken sauce evenly.
  • 4. Next sprinkle evenly with the cheeses. Then the green onion. If using olives I would add them now as well.
  • 5. Bake on bottom rack of oven at 450 degree F. for 20 - 25 minutes- or until golden and bubbly. Place on cooling rack for a few minutes, then add your other toppings as you would for a taco.
  • 6. Slice and enjoy! Was mighty tasty indeed.
  • 7. Pre bake crust about 10 min. Recipe I use is below... 1 pkg - active dry yeast 1c water, warm Pinch sugar 2 1/2 cups - flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 Tbsp olive oil Done in my kitchen aid mixer. Get yourself a cup of warm water. Sprinkle in the sugar and stir. Now sprinkle the dry yeast over the water and leave alone. When frothy, pour into bowl of mixer. Add the flour, salt and oil. I use my mixing beater until incorporated, then switch to my dough hook and mix on low - med speed for 6 - 8 minutes or until dough is good and smooth. Cover with a tea towel and let rest for 30 - 35 minutes. Once dough has rested. I always grease my pizza pans with olive oil and sprinkle with corn meal. This dough spreads very easily. Spread into your pan and I always par bake for 5 - 10 minutes at 450 degree F. I bake my pizzas at the same temp. On the lowest oven position.
