How to Make Taco Nacho Pizza Jack O Lanterns

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Flatten 1 large Texas roll (or 2 combined dinner rolls) into a 5-inch circle. Repeat with remaining rolls (you should have enough for 4-6 jack-o'-lanterns depending on the size of your rolls).
  3. Place flattened dough circles on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
  5. Stir in taco seasoning according to package directions.
  6. In a bowl, combine cooked ground beef, 1 (15 ounce) can of refried beans, and 1/2 cup of salsa.
  7. Evenly divide the beef mixture among the dough circles.
  8. Toss 1 cup of tortilla chips with 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce and spoon evenly over the beef mixture on each pizza.
  9. Top with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  12. Garnish with black olives (for eyes and a mouth) and a small piece of orange bell pepper (for a nose) to create jack-o'-lantern faces.
