(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pkg. quick-rise yeast
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1/3 cup taco sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack
  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, crushed tortilla chips, sliced ripe olives, diced avocado, sour cream, salsa

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour, cornmeal, salt and yeast. In another bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups warm water and honey. Gradually add dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Cover; let rest 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, cook and stir beef, crumbling meat, until no longer pink; drain. Add taco seasoning and remaining 3/4 cup water. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.

  3. Press dough to fit a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Combine beans and taco sauce; spread over dough. Top with beef mixture and cheese. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is golden and cheese is melted, 15-18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Top as desired.
