After moving from Michigan to Pennsylvania I have noticed a huge difference in not only meat, but produce as well. I know understand why people are vegetarians and Michigan barely has any. Michigan has meat and produce laws, and a lot of other states do not. The lettuce in Pennsylvania is absolutely disgusting, and must be ran through my lettuce spinner multiple times. I recently was given the opportunity by Foodbuzz to try out Fresh Express lettuce. You can imagine my hesitation. However this lettuce was bug and dirty free and tasted amazing! I was extremely impressed with how great of a quality Fresh Express lettuce is.
So what's a girl to do with an awesome bag of lettuce? Make Tostada Pizza!
First I started with a thin pizza crust. I baked it at 350 for six minutes.
While the oven was preheating/pizza crust baking. I cooked a little over half a pound of ground sirloin with onion. Once the meat was no longer pink I added in some taco seasoning.
I also chopped the Fresh Express lettuce into smaller pizza.
The pizza crust should have a nice gold look.
I then smeared a light coating of pizza sauce on the crust.
Added the taco meat.
and some fat free mozzarella cheese.
I baked this at 350 for five minutes... or until the cheese melted.
after I took it out of the oven I covered it with lettuce, tomato and swirled on taco sauce.Tostada Pizza
