Change up taco night with this Taco Pita Pizza that’s ready in less than 30 minutes!
Happy Taco Tuesday!
This month’s Recipe Redux theme is focused on the always delicious, ever-evolving taco. Today, the taco is breaking out of it’s (taco) shell and finding a new home on top of a pita. It’s a Taco Pita Pizza partaaaayy!
I kept this recipe pretty classic with traditional taco toppings like diced tomato, shredded cheese, red onion, cilantro, and my favorite topping of all, avocado! You could also add plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, jalapenos, black olives, and extra salsa for a more deluxe taco pizza.
What are your favorite taco toppings?
I’m also thinking this would be a fun weekend brunch recipe—just top with an over-easy egg and call it breakfast!
Tacos are truly a great way to load up on good-for-you vegetables, so don’t be shy when piling on the lettuce, tomato, avocado, and red onion. I found pocket-less pitas which work perfectly as the base for this taco pizza. If you can’t find pocket-less pitas, regular pitas will work too.
