April Fools Day Mexican Pizza Recipe By Tasty

PAULA DEEN'S MEXICAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Position the oven rack at the lowest level. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven on the rack. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat the oil in a small saucepan and cook the green pepper and mushrooms over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Cut the crusts into biscuit sized pieces using a biscuit cutter. Distribute the vegetables evenly over the crusts. Reserve 1 cup of the salsa and spoon the remaining salsa evenly over the pizzas. If you don't have a pizza stone, place the pizzas on a baking sheet. They won't be as crisp this way, but this is a lot less messy than placing them directly on the rack.
• Bake the pizzas for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake 7 minutes more. Serve the pizza slices topped with the reserved salsa, olives, cooked ham, shredded lettuce and sour cream.
• Note: For variety, you can make a Greek style pizza, using olives, tapenade, spinach and feta cheese. An Italian style pizza uses tomato sauce and provolone cheese. A vegetarian style pizza simply omits the meat.

APRIL FOOLS' DAY MEXICAN PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and top with wire racks.
• Make the cinnamon sugar tortillas: Brush both sides of each tortilla with the melted butter and sprinkle both sides liberally with the cinnamon and sugar. Arrange 2 tortillas on each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake the tortillas, flipping halfway, until slightly crisp, 10-15 minutes.
• Make the ground "beef": Add the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon to a food processor. Pulse several times until the walnuts are broken down to the consistency of ground beef. Transfer to a large bowl, add the melted chocolate, and fold with a rubber spatula until the walnut mixture is fully coated in the chocolate. Set aside until ready to assemble the pizza.
• Make the shredded "cheese": In a medium bowl, mix the shredded coconut with the yellow and orange food colorings until the coconut is evenly colored. Set aside until ready to use.
• Make the fruit "salsa": Add the kiwi, strawberries, apple, and mint to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
• Make the blueberry "olives": Carefully slice each blueberry in half. Punch out the center of each half with a small round pastry tip to resemble a sliced olive. Set aside until ready to use.
• To assemble, place a cinnamon sugar tortilla on a work surface. Top with half of the ground "beef" mixture and spread evenly to cover the tortilla. Sprinkle with a generous handful of shredded "cheese". Top with another tortilla and spread ½ cup of strawberry jam all over the tortilla. Top with another generous sprinkle of shredded "cheese", a large spoonful of fruit "salsa", a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkling of chopped fresh mint, and blueberry "olives". Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
