• I recently heard about and tried pizza beans. Just some kind of white bean (any white beans) cooked, and then you cover them in pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni and broil it until the cheese is melted and caramelized a bit.

    Sounded weird as hell, and I thought the texture would be horrible but the beans actually just kinda gave the same texture you get with pizza dough. Not as crispy, obviously, but like a Detroit style crust.

    I might do these tacos but I wouldn’t use the hamburger. Personally, I don’t like how ground beef goes with the other pizza ingredients (i don’t like burger on an actual pizza either)… But maybe refried beans would be great.

    In my experience pizza <insert any food that isn’t pizza> is always disappointing.

    Pizza bagels? Not great.

    Pizza sandwiches? Also meh.

    Pizza soup? Haven’t had it, but also probably not great.

    Pizza pizza? That’s a calzone.

    I expect pizza tacos to be just as dissappointing

    Are you still able to eat junk food? I get the shakes when I eat take out and fast food. It’s weird. It’s all of that crap hitting my bloodstream at once. I literally struggle to hold my fork.

    The tacos will inevitably break too much after a few bites and everthing will start spilling on you, and it’s your fucking faulr for doing that.

      This is why I always go for a soft taco instead. Hard tacos want to be salad and will detonate into corn-chip shrapnel the instant you take that first bite, unmercifully dumping its contents onto the table and your lap in the process. I can’t imagine eating one mess-free, unless equipped with a jaw that unhinges and a supernaturally flexible neck.

    Guys it’s just tacos with pepperoni on top.

    What would be real solid is making like, chorizo pepperoni slices or something instead of the regular pepperoni

    Structurally and logistically there is no way that a shell transports pizza better than crust. Not to fault the 'tilla, just a different instrument for a different song

      I’m not so sure. The best way to eat a pizza is to fold it, because that gives it more rigidity. You essentially turn it into a taco, but the shell has a slightly different texture. I have no idea why a tortilla wouldn’t hold up in this situation.

      Tbh, hard-shell tortillas don’t even transport tacos that well. I love 'em, especially coated in Dorito dust, but it’s a flawed system for sure.

        Well, those weird crunchy taco shells make no sense. They’re a weird American thing, and I don’t understand how they became popular. I like some crunch with my food too, but not a shell that just shatters when it’s meant to contain the food.

        A tortilla fried in a pan becomes somewhat crispy though, and it tastes better and holds together better. That’s what this picture looks like. It should be fine.

        No no. Box crispy shells suck. Real corn tortillas cooked in oil until crispy enough to hold a V shape but just soft enough to really envelope the filling. Holy crap that’s delicious! Dude, I’m making tacos tomorrow!

          Yeah I was talking about the box shells, I didn’t realize that’s not what is in the picture. Oops!
