Equipment

1 Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 large egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/3 cup taco sauce
1/2 cup Fritos corn chips lightly crushed
4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
1/2 cup iceberg lettuce shredded
1/2 cup tomatoes diced
1/3 cup Ranch dressing
2 tbsp chipotle sauce
fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the egg and sour cream until smooth.
Pour the dry Jiffy corn muffin mix into a large bowl. Add the sour cream and egg mixture. Stir until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
Heat your 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains. Add the taco seasoning and about 1/2 cup of water. Allow to simmer until thickened. Transfer the taco meat to a clean bowl.
To the same skillet, add the corn bread batter. Smooth it gently with an offset spatula into the skillet. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow the crust to rest for 5 minutes.
Then, evenly top the pizza crust with the taco sauce, seasoned ground beef, crushed Fritos and cheddar cheese.
Bake the pizza for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted.
Whisk together the Ranch dressing with the chipotle sauce. Or you could use more taco sauce.
Slice the pizza to serve. Top each slice of taco pizza as desired with lettuce, tomato, chipotle Ranch dressing and chopped cilantro. Or feel free to add any of your own additional taco pizza toppings.
