Taco Pizza With Cornmeal Crust

Ingredients: * 1 quantity Basic corn meal pizza dough * 12 ounces lean ground beef * 1 cup chopped onion * 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce * 1 (2 1/2-ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained * 1 (1 1/4-ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix * 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese * 2 cups shredded lettuce * 2 cups chopped tomatoes * 2 medium avocados, seed, peeled and chopped * 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream * Chili powder * Fresh cilantro or coriander to top after it has come out the oven Method: 1. Prepare the cornmeal pizza dough. 2. Grease two 11 to 13-inch pizza pans or baking sheets. 3. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough into a circle 1-inch larger than pizza pan. 4. Transfer the dough to the pans and build up the edges slightly. If desired, flute the edges. 5. Prick well with fork, to keep the pizza flat. 6. Prebake in a 4250F (2200C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. 7. Meanwhile, in a large skillet sauté the ground meat and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender and then drain off the fat. 8. Stir in tomato sauce, olives and taco seasoning mix. 9. Spread the meat mixture over the hot cornmeal crusts and sprinkle with cheese. 10. Bake about 12 minutes more or until cheese is melted. 11. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados and sour cream. 12. If desired, sprinkle sour cream with chili powder and the fresh coriander.
