Fiesta Salad Turnover

This resembles a giant taco!

6 servings

Crust
1 pkg. refrigerated pizza crust
½ c. grated Colby-Jack cheese blend

Jalapeno-Lime Dressing
1  jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
½ lime
½ c. sour cream

Filling
2 small plum tomatoes equal to ½ cup, seeded and diced
½ c. pitted ripe olives, sliced
1 lb. lean ground beef, cooked, crumbled and diced
¾ c. salsa
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 garlic clove, pressed
½ c. grated Colby-Jack cheese blend
1½ c. shredded lettuce

Preheat oven to 425°F.

1. Crust - Unroll pizza dough on large round pan.  Lightly spray dough with cooking spray; sprinkle with cheese.  Bake 13-15 minutes.  Remove from oven; immediately loose crust and flip over.  Press down in center and fold in half to form a large taco shape.  Set aside.

2. Dressing - Finely chop jalapeno and cilantro together, put in blender; add juice of lime and sour cream.  Process till all blended.  Set aside.

3. Filling - combine cooked meat, salsa, taco seasoning and garlic; mix well.  Microwave on High 3-4 minutes.  Stir in cheese.

4. Open crust; spread half of dressing over bottom half of crust.  Top with meat.  Sprinkle with lettuce, tomatoes and olives.  Drizzle with remaining dressing.  Cut with a serrated knife.

I've only fixed this one time but it was good.
