"taco" pizza

we had a fair amount of taco meat left over from tacos earlier this week... it doesn't really lend itself to a lot of options other than "leftover tacos", which 9x out of 10, suck. when in doubt... leftover meat = random  themed pizza. i think this is loosely described as a taco pizza... only because it seemed more on point than "cheeseburger" pizza. in either case, whatever you want to call it pizza turned into a delicious mouth party. 



ingredients list: 
- 1 recipe for pizza dough or fresh store-bought 
- 1 cup Classico Poblano Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 a red onion, diced
- 1 tomatoes, diced
- 1 & 1/2 cups cooked ground beef
- 1 jalepeno, sliced (remove seeds & stems if you want it less spicy)
- 1 cup monteray jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cabot smokey bacon cheddar cheese (we used this since we had it on hand - any cheddar will do though)
- 1/8 cup diced chives
- pinch salt 
- pince pepper
- olive oil

- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- few dashes of parsley

to make: mix 1-2 tbsp olive oil, salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and parsley in small bowl and set aside. preheat the oven (with pizza stone in the oven also) to 450 degrees. 

roll out pizza dough on lightly floured surface. lightly flour the hot pizza stone, then carefully transfer the dough to the stone. spread the alfredo sauce, 1 cup of cheese, onion, tomato, ground beef, jalapeno, and  the last cup of cheese over the dough. bake in preheated oven for about 10-13 minutes.

brush the crust with the garlic olive oil mixture within the last few minutes of cooking. add a few dashes of pepper and the chives, and allow to cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
