GARTH BROOKS' TACO PIZZA

Trisha Yearwood says that people ask her all the time if Garth Brooks does any of the cooking at home, and yes he does!  In 2015 she published a cookbook entitled "Trisha's Table" and this recipe is his idea of how to whip up a taco pizza. It's super simple to make.

INGREDIENTS
1(13.8 ounce) Can Pre-made Pizza Crust Dough
1 (16 Ounce) Can Refried Beans

1/2 Cup Picante Sauce (Your choice of mild, medium or hot)
3/4 Cup Sliced Green or Black Olives

8 Ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded (About 2 Cups)
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1 Cup Finely Diced Tomatoes (1 Large or 30 grape tomatoes)
1 Large head (12 Ounces Shredded Lettuce) - or you can get the bag that's already shredded
1/4 Cup Sour Cream

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, then roll out the dough and fit onto a 15-in pizza pan or baking sheet.  In a medium bowl, mix together the beans and picante sauce until combined.  Spread the mixture onto the crust, leaving a 1/4 border.  Scatter the olives over the crust, then top with the shredded cheese.   Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.

While the crust is baking, lightly salt the tomatoes, then in a medium bowl, toss them with the lettuce and sour cream.  Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the lettuce mixture.

If you like, feel free to add crumbled cooked ground beef or shredded chicken with taco seasoning to give it that yummy taco flavor.
