- 4 pitas
- 1/2 lb extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
- 2 tsp taco seasoning or chili powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup jarred taco sauce (I like the old el paso brand)
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese (I use the pre-shredded Mexican blends to save time)
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup Corn
- 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup black olives
- 1 medium-sized vine tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Other optional topping ideas
- sour cream
- Lettuce
- avocado
- hot sauce
Preheat oven to 425 F and put down til foil on bottom of oven to prevent mess (optional). Cook ground beef in a medium-sized frying pan over med-high heat (you shouldn't need to drain if you use extra-lean ground beef; remember to drain before adding seasonings if using beef with higher fat). Add chili powder and salt and saute until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Toast pitas on directly on wire wrack in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of taco sauce over each pita (about 1/4 cup's worth on each). Top with cheese, ground beef, red onions, corn, jalapenos and black olives then bake each pita pizza directly on the oven wrack for 15-20 minutes. All four pizzas should fit on the same wrack (you may want to put down some tin foil before preheating oven to catch any toppings/cheese that may drip off).
Remove from oven and top with fresh tomatoes and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
