🛒 Ingredients

Pizza Crust

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp ground flax meal
  • 1 egg white, beaten until tripled in volume (optional – for lighter crust)

Pizza Toppings

  • 1½ lb cooked taco-seasoned ground meat (beef or turkey)
  • 1 (4 oz) can mild green chiles, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Make the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in almond flour and ground flax meal until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in beaten egg white if using.
  6. Press dough evenly onto the pizza pan, forming a 10–11 inch crust.
  7. Pre-bake for 7 minutes, until lightly golden.

Assemble the Taco Pizza

  1. Spread cooked taco meat evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  2. Sprinkle green chiles on top.
  3. Add shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
  4. Bake on the top rack for 7–8 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions.

🔥 Tips & Variations

  • Extra Crunch: Broil for 1–2 minutes after baking (watch closely).
  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce.
  • Sauce Option: Add a light layer of sour cream or taco sauce after baking.
  • Protein Swap: Works great with shredded chicken or ground turkey.

🥗 Serving Ideas
