Base recipe

Taco bean spread

Refried beans loosened with taco sauce and seasoning: the base of a Midwest taco pizza. It keeps the crust from drying out and holds the beef in place.

Warm everything in a small pan, stirring, until it's smooth and spreadable, about 3 min. Add a little more water if it's too stiff to spread over raw dough without tearing it. Let it cool a little before using. Keeps 4 days in the fridge.
