• 4 oz pepper Jack cheese
• one crust or pizza dough for a large pizza

Put 1 pound grass-fed ground beef on a pan over medium heat. Don't need to add olive oil, becauce you will saute the beef in its own fat. Add 1 tbsp cumin,
1 tsp chipotle pepper,
1 tbsp ancho chile powder,
and 3/4 tsp salt. Give it a stir.

Step 2

Add 1/2 cup sliced green onions,
and 1 cup sliced Poblano pepper, or Anaheim, or other green peppers. Give it a stir.

Step 3

Put all the mixture on one side of the pan, use a paper towel to suck out the excess oil.
Add 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Stir well.
Once it is done, transfer them on a pizza dough in a baking sheet. Topped with 4 oz pepper Jack cheese.
When you look down the pizza, you should see 50% meat and 50% cheeses.

Step 4

Bake it at the bottom of a preheat 425F oven for 6 minutes. Then move it to the middle of the oven for 9 minutes.

Step 5

When done, remove and cool at a cooling rack.

  I did something today that has always bothered me when done by large food corporations; I named a recipe based solely on geography and alliteration. This video recipe for a Tex-Mex style pizza was called "El Paso Pizza" because Paso and Pizza both start with P's, and El Paso is in Texas. I've never been to El Paso, nor do I have any knowledge about their pizza - if they even eat pizza. Not many people realize that there are absolutely no laws or guidelines on the authenticity of food packaging names, claims, and histories. Those cute little stories that you always see on the back of labels about how Aunt Tillie invented her "Bakersfield Brownies" during the Depression, using chocolate smuggled into to the country by trained hawks. It's all made up. The name, the location, the part about the hawks - all invented in some marketing meeting.

  I realize that none of you really care why this is called El Paso pizza, but I wanted to call your attention to the whole "amazing but true story behind the name" scam at the supermarket. Just another reason not to buy prepared foods! Anyway, this video recipe is quite tasty and a great idea when you can't decide whether to have pizza or tacos.
