Switch things up for your next taco night, with this scrumptious vegan taco pizza! Piled with hearty refried beans, zesty tofu crumbles, creamy cashew queso, and your favorite taco toppings.
Taco pizza never really appealed to me. I always saw it on pizza menus growing up and thought it was a terrible idea. I realized recently that things had changed. I think I used to be attached to the idea that pizza needed to be topped with red sauce and cheese. You know, before I started making all kinds of vegan pizzas topped with stuff like hummus, caramelized onions, and barbecue sauce. Once you’ve gone down that road, why the heck not put some taco toppings on your pizza. That’s just what I did! What is Taco Pizza?
Did you also grow up seeing taco pizza on restaurant menus? Or maybe even ordering it? Or maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about. Taco pizza is a pizza that’s topped with ingredients you’d normally find not on a pizza, but in a taco. There are a bunch of different versions, but typical recipes call for ingredients like refried beans, taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crushed tortilla chips. What You’ll Need
How to Make Vegan Taco PizzaStart by baking your pizza dough. Brush it with some olive oil, sprinkle it with some cornmeal, and bake it until it’s puffy and slightly browned. While the dough bakes, you can make your tofu taco meat. Heat up some oil in a skillet and add some onion. Cook the onion for a few minutes to soften it up. Now crumble your tofu into the skillet and continue cooking it with the onion until it begins to dry out and crisp in spots. Add the garlic and spices, and cook everything for about another minute. Now stir in the tomato sauce and soy sauce, as well as hot sauce, if you’re using it. Let the mixture simmer until the sauce thickens up a bit, then take it off of the burner and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the crust is out of the oven you can top it! Slather it with a layer of refried beans, followed by tofu taco meat, then drizzle it with cashew queso. Finish the pizza with whatever additional toppings you like, like shredded lettuce, tomato, tortilla chips, and sliced black olives.
