Carne Asada Pizza
Carne asada street tacos meet pizza with this Carne Asada Pizza. You can use either homemade or store-bought pizza dough. Roll it out and top it with refried black beans, lots of Oaxaca cheese, and grilled carne asada and baked until golden brown and bubbly. Then finished off with onion and cilantro, sliced avocado, salsa and fresh lime juice. It’s the best of both worlds.
There’s something so appealing about pizza on a Friday night. Whether ordering in or making it at home. It’s when I crave it the most, especially after a long and busy work week. This Carne Asada Pizza would be a great start-of-the-weekend meal. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s quick, easy and delicious, more so if you take some help from the store with store-bought pizza dough, beans and salsa. It all just works so well together!

- Cut into slices and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!
