This simple recipe is a very tasty dish that I love to make for my family. It is TexMex twist on an American favorite (pizza). It is healthier and tastes better than Taco Bell. I usually eat 1/3 of the pizza, but you will have to determine the right serving size for you. I would replace the crust if I did it again with a flatzza high fiber crust. Enjoy.
