Low Carb Mexican Pizza

A grain-free, low carb Mexican pizza on a zucchini dough crust.

Low Carb Mexican Pizza is grain-free, low carb, and has ground beef, Mexican spices, and toppings on a zucchini dough crust. I topped mine with cheese, bell peppers, avocado, tomatoes.

I wanted to add sliced black olives but my son-in-law does not like olives. If my brain had been fully functioning, I would have put sliced olives on half of the pizza.

Next time I will vary the toppings. This recipe makes about an 11 to 11 ½ inch pizza with 8 slices.

Ingredients:

Zucchini Crust:

1 ¾ cup zucchini, grated or ground (about 2 med-size, 5-inch zucchinis)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 tbsp coconut flour, like this one
2 tsp golden flax meal, like this one
⅓ cup grated cheese
2 eggs

1 lb ground beef
2 tbsp taco seasoning mix, like this one
⅔ cup water
⅔ cup grated cheese
½ medium-size avocado, chopped
½ medium-sized tomato, chopped
¼ cup bell peppers, diced *optional
2 tablespoon sliced black olives *optional

Kitchen Tools:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F, and line a 12 to 14-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, Grind up zucchini until it is the texture of rice, or finely grate it with a grater.
Place grated or ground zucchini in a few layers of paper towels or cheesecloth. squeeze and drain zucchini in the towel over the sink to get the liquid out.
In a large mixing bowl combine: 1 ¾ cup ground zucchini, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, 2 tablespoon coconut flour, 2 teaspoon golden flax meal, ⅓ cup grated cheese, and 2 eggs. Mix together thoroughly.
Place zucchini dough on the line pizza pan. Use the back of a spoon to spread dough evenly over the pan. Use the edge of the spoon to smooth the edges of the dough. Bake the pizza dough for 12 minutes (will be baking 10 more minutes after flipping the dough over).
Remove from the oven and place another sheet of parchment paper over the top of the pizza dough. Taking the opposite sides of both the papers with the dough in between flip the pizza dough over. Slowly and carefully peel back the top parchment paper from the dough. Bake for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven.
In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef. Drain the beef and return to the frying pan over medium-high. Add the taco seasoning mix and ⅔ cup water to the beef and stir together and bring to a boil and then turn to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Cover pizza dough with the ground beef mixture. Top with the ⅔ cup cheese, and optional chopped bell peppers & olive slices. Place pizza back in the oven and bake at 400 F for 4 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and top with avocado, tomatoes. Garnish with salsa or hot sauce if desired. Slice and serve
