Whether you have philosophical or flavor objections to taco pizza, or hold it up as a shining example of a great American food mashup, it's not shocking to see it on a pizzeria menu.
Taco pizzas aren't the only way Americans have crammed pizza into other forms of food. Look no further than the zesty pizza burgers or humble bagel bites.
Yet we draw the line at pizza tacos — you know, a taco shell with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms and pizza sauce topped by a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese with a sprinkle of fresh basil. Or perhaps we're awaiting Taco Bell to bless us with this creation.

TASTING NOTES: The pizza looks great coming out of the oven. Toppings piled high. Black olives under a thin layer of melted, golden cheese.
I used Mia Oven Fired Stone Baked Original pizza crust because it was the only option on the shelf at Walmart. Turns out it was the right choice, as the crustwas soft without being soggy but had a crispy bottom.
I don't normally go for taco pizza, but I would make this again.This recipe has been one of the best finds during this series.

PRACTICALITY RATING: 3. If you can open food packages and spread those food package contents on a crust, you have all the necessary kitchen skills.
HACKS/INSIGHTS:There's no need to measure the ingredients. Just add the amounts that look right to you. That might leave minuscule leftovers. Normally, I'd rant about recipes that leave ingredient leftovers, but you can dip chips in the salsa while the pizza bakes. Honestly, it's not going to harm the pizza to use the entire8-ounce bagof shredded cheese.
Don't expect a thin crust to hold up under all the moisture from the salsa, corn and olives and the weight of the chicken and cheese.

I got stressed only once, for a minute or two, when a food package instruction fight ensued. Team Mia instructs to bake the crust 7-10 minutes at 400 F. Team Del Monte insisted baking 10 minutes at 450 F. Applying the go big or go home philosophy, I went 450 F. Later I made a different pizza baked at the lower temperature and didn't get the nice crispy crust at the bottom.

Next time—and there will be a next time —I would top the pizza with crushed Doritos or tortilla chips then adddollops of sour cream just before serving. Maybe even throw on a handful of lettuce shreds. Any taco toppings work with these flavors. If there's a vegetarian reader out there willing to replace the chicken with tofu or refried beans, let me know how it works.
ABOUT THIS SERIES:I test recipes found on food packages in my very average kitchen with my moderately above average cooking talent and meh presentation skills. I'll provide some insights and basic cooking tips. If you don't find these stories useful, hopefully you find them entertaining.
