Recipe: Chicken Taco Pizza (using salsa and refrigerated pizza dough)

CHICKEN TACO PIZZA

1 (10-13 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
1 cup refried beans
1/2 cup salsa
2 chicken breast halves without skin, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 plum tomatoes, sliced thin
1/4 red onion, sliced thin

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll pizza crust into a 12-inch circle and arrange on a hot pizza stone or pizza pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix taco seasoning mix with 1/2 cup water. In a 10-inch skillet cook chicken in the taco seasoning mixture.

Remove pizza crust from oven. Spread refried beans over crust; spread salsa over beans. Drain excess taco seasoning sauce from chicken and distribute chicken evenly over salsa.

Combine cheeses and layer over chicken. Arrange tomato and onion slices over cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes.
