FatHead Taco Pizza

We are trying to eat low-carb so I found this fathead pizza crust recipe on the following blog: https://killerketoblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/fathead-pizza-crust/


Fathead Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbs cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
  • garlic powder
  • sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Measure out almond flour, add garlic powder, salt, and xanthan gum and stir in a bowl. Put cheeses into a microwave safe bowl and heat for about a minute and 20 seconds.  Stir the cheeses for 30 seconds; add almond flour mixture and egg. If it is too stringy, heat for another 20-30 seconds in the microwave. Wet hands and form into 5 balls on a baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat. 3. Spread with wet hands. You want it to be relatively thin so that it is crispy (unless you like really soft doughy texture for your pizza).
3. Poke the crust all over with a fork. Bake for 8 minutes. Poke down bubbles with a fork and cook an additional four minutes or until crust is browned.


I used ground turkey for our taco meat, you could use beef or anything else your family prefers. I like to make my own taco seasoning because it is less sodium and carbs :)


 Homemade Taco Seasoning (Large Batch)

1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons chili powder
3 Tablespoons cumin
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon finely ground pepper
1 Tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Mix all ingredients together then store in an airtight container or jar with a tight fitting lid.
To use: brown 1lb ground meat then add 2 - 2-½ Tablespoons taco seasoning mix plus 1/3 cup broth (any kind) and simmer until broth has thickened, 1-2 minutes.



The Finished Product!
We are taco LOVERS in our house so naturally we would be eating taco pizza. The only thing missing is the taco chips on top!

Our toppings: lettuce, sour cream, black olives and salsa!

My kids and husband even liked it! This one will be a keeper in our house! Next time we will make Supreme!
