This isn’t pizza. And it isn’t a taco. It’s the most delicious blend of both. It’s a flatbread-type pizza with taco toppings. What a great, lighter dinner!
What ingredients will you need for Skinny Taco Pizza?
I use the Flatout Artisan Thin Pizza Crust for this recipe. It’s just 120 calories. You can find the Flatout products in the USA in your deli area or bread section. Besides that, you’ll need turkey taco meat (follow the recipe), fat free refried beans, reduced fat cheese, tomato, lettuce and light sour cream.
How do you make Skinny Taco Pizza?
The recipe begins by baking the pizza crust to get it a little bit crispy.
Refried beans, spiced-up ground turkey and cheese are piled on top. Then it goes back into the oven to warm everything up.
In true taco fashion, the pizza is topped with lettuce, tomato and sour cream.
Sliced into pieces, it’s perfect for picking up and eating just like regular pizza.
This recipe serves two people, and it’s super filling and satisfying. If you happen to be following the Weight Watchers WW plan, you’ll find a link to the WW Points on the recipe card below. My husband and son devoured my Skinny Taco Pizza samples. And just for the record: neither of them are watching their calories and they thought this recipe was a perfectly delicious meal!
