Mexican Pizza

 ​MEXICAN PIZZA
Ingredients:

1 low carb pizza crust (see blog recipe)
1 lb. ground chicken
1/2 cup water
Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix (original)
1 tbsp. ghee
1 chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1 cup black olives (sliced)
16 oz. block sharp cheddar cheese  (grated)

Directions:

Bake crusts according to directions on box. If using a wire rack, make sure it has tiny squares or the crusts will fall right through.

Carefully slide baked crusts onto a foil-lined large sheet pan or 2 smaller pans.  Set aside. 

Brown meat in non-stick pot.  Drain.
Stir in 1/2 cup of water.
Add taco seasoning packet.  Mix well.
Set aside.

Saute chopped onions and peppers in ghee. *
Set aside.

Grate the cheese.*

Spread most of  the cheese onto the crusts. Reserve 1 cup.
Add the ground meat mixture.
Top with peppers and onions.
Add the olives.
​Top with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese.

Broil in the oven for 3 minutes .

Let it set for 5 minutes.  Then, cut with a kitchen scissors into pizza slices.

It is easiest to eat with a fork and knife.

'Note 1:  Spicier option:  Add 7 dried red hot chile peppers while sauteing the onions and peppers. 
                                             Remove the red chili peppers before topping pizza.

**Note 2:  In recipes, we always grate the cheese ourselves. 
                  Packaged grated cheese has carbs added to keep it from clumping together.
