Easy Taco Stromboli

Contributing Writer: Jamie Sanders

I have a few recipes that are excellent for using up leftovers.  This is a great one I came up with just for that purpose…

This recipe is very flexible, you can pretty much use whatever you have leftover in your fridge.  Beans (any kind, even re-fried), rice, onions, peppers, corn, chicken, beef or pork.  Salsa, cream cheese, plain yogurt, shredded cheese.  The list goes on…

These are the ingredients I used in this Stromboli:

Thin and crispy refrigerated pizza dough
Leftover ground beef
Black beans
Corn
Shredded cheese
Salsa
Plain Greek yogurt
Taco Seasoning

Here is how I made the Taco Stromboli (almost the exact same way I made my Ham and Cheese and Leftover Meatloaf Stromboli.)

Throw all your ingredients in a bowl and mix it up!

Don’t forget the seasonings:

Lay out the pizza dough and spread your filling mixture out evenly.  Top the filling with a bit more cheese.

Roll it up and place it on a greased cookie sheet, seam side down.  Using a serrated knife, cut a few slits in the top to reduce pressure when cooking.  Cook in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes, you may want to cover it with foil to prevent further browning then cook for another 5 to 15 minutes.
