Transfer to a parchment-covered pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet. Brush the dough with olive oil, then spread the refried beans on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spoon the salsa over the beans and sprinkle with the cheese. Scatter the scallions and jalapenos on top. Slide the pizza and parchment onto the hot stone and bake until the crust is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool a few minutes.

TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F with a pizza stone in the oven.
• To make the taco pizza, we start with stretching a portion of Pizza dough over a 12-inch pizza pan. Make sure to dust your pan with semolina to keep it from sticking. Stretch the dough slightly larger than the pan to allow yourself an edge to roll your crust. Then apply 1/2 cup of the Salsa and spread evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella and 1 ounce of the Cheddar-Jack evenly across the salsa. (Keep the cheese within the pan so that you can roll your crust.) Roll the border of un-topped dough into a crust and place in the oven. Spin the pizza frequently to insure even cooking; it should take 5 to 6 minutes to cook. Once the crust is golden brown, gently slide it off the pan and onto the stone to brown the bottom. This should take about 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the oven and place back on the pizza pan. Cut the pizza into 6 slices. Then top in this order: crushed tortillas, taco beef, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, remaining 1 ounce Cheddar-Jack cheese, jalapeños, cilantro.
• Start by placing the flour, brown sugar, yeast and salt in a stand mixer and mix for approximately 3 minutes. You then slowly add the water around the edges, then the oil. Mix for 16 to 18 minutes. Once everything is mixed remove the dough, divide into 12-ounce portions, loosely cover and store in the fridge for 48 hours to allow to rise properly.
• Combine the garlic, jalapeños, bell pepper, white onion, cilantro, water, chili powder, granulated garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, salt and lime juice in a food processor and run until has a slightly chunky consistency.

TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the pizza dough: Mix the yeast with 1 1/2 cups warm water and set aside for 8 to 10 minutes. Mix together the flour, olive oil and salt in a bowl using an electric mixer. With the speed on low, drizzle in the yeast/water mixture and mix until totally combined. Cover the bowl with a towel and set in a warm, draft-free place. Allow to rise for 1 to 2 hours.
• Pour the black beans into a saucepan. Add the taco seasoning and heat up the beans over medium-low heat. Use a potato masher to mash the beans to the desired texture. Continue cooking/heating over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are no longer runny (they should be the texture of refried beans). Set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. When hot enough to fry, drop in the tortilla strips in batches, frying them quickly and removing them from the oil with a fork when crisp--30 to 45 seconds per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
• Position an oven rack in the bottom position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet with some olive oil.
• Remove half of the pizza dough from the bowl. (Place the remaining half in a large plastic bag and refrigerate, saving it for another use.) With your hands, spread the dough out on the oiled baking sheet, making sure it's relatively thin. Spread a layer of refried beans all over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack over the top. Place the baking sheet on the bottom rack in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, watching to make sure the crust doesn't burn. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle on the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and cilantro leaves.
• Mix together the sour cream and hot sauce in a small bowl, adding enough hot sauce to make the mixture pourable. With a spoon (or you can put it in a pastry bag), drizzle the mixture over the finished pizza.
• Sprinkle with the tortilla strips. Cut into squares and serve immediately with good-quality salsa.

• In a medium bowl, mix together the refried beans and picante sauce until combined. Spread the mixture onto the crust. Scatter the olives over the crust, then top with the cheese and the browned beef. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
• While the crust is baking, lightly salt the tomatoes, then, in a medium bowl, toss them with the lettuce and sour cream. Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the cool lettuce mixture. Slice into eight pieces and serve.
