It’s amazing sometimes
how the simplest dishes can be so delicious. This meal is a pretty
healthy way to enjoy Mexican night. I actually only had the opportunity
to enjoy two slices (1 the night I made it and 1 for leftovers), my husband ate
6 slices in 2 days! We both loved it. I wanted to use homemade
pizza dough, but didn’t have the time to make it. I used a Betty Crocker
mix that worked well. I sprayed a pizza stone with Pam, which made it
quite easy to roll out the dough. The pizza was not soggy at all (I have
had that problem in the past) and it held up well with the extra toppings of
lettuce, tomato, and salsa. A nice meal.
