These tasty individual pizzas have the zippy flavor of tacos. When I created this recipe and served these pizzas to my husband and day-care kids, they made them disappear. The recipe produces a big batch of the meat mixture, but leftovers can be frozen for up to 3 months. -Karen Housley-Raatz, Walworth, Wisconsin

I really liked this recipe. It's different than most of the Mexican dishes I make. My husband however didn't like the pizza flavor mixed with the Mexican flavor. I guess I'll just have to fix it when he isn't going to be eating it.
