Southwestern Taco Pizza image

My Mom told me I really messed up making this for her because she will never order another taco pizza again! This dish is time consuming to prepare but soooo good. The corn and Catalina give it just a touch of sweet with the savory, the flavors are multi dimensional. I prepared this for New Years Eve as appetizer and have made it for supper several times. Hope you all enjoy this!

Steps:

  • Assemble right before serving: On baked crescents, spread seasoned refried beans, top with hot taco meat, top with shredded cheese. Stop here if traveling with this dish (toppings to be added by individuals or added at event) or if everyones tastes are different. If not continue to top in this order lettuce, tomato, corn, black olives, green onions and tortilla chips. Drizzle with Catalina, then with Ranch. Cut in desired size pieces. Serve with sour cream.
