I love this blog.  Cleo is a hoot and her recipes look wonderful.  I just found this blog, quite by accident and I’m glad I did.  Visit Cleo and check out her blog “The Lighter Side of Low Carb“

Zucchini Crust

Crust

Large raw zucchini, peeled and shredded (between 1.5-2 cups)
2 eggs
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or pizza cheese*)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Grease cookie sheet.

Peel and shred a large zucchini. Add egg and cheese, and mix well (I always use my hands). Spread the dough onto the pan evenly (watch the middle of the crust—it can be too thick) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is cooked. Let cool.

Makes a large crust (14″)

Taco Pizza

For the Taco Pizza

Layer, in the following order:
Pizza sauce mixed with Picante/Salsa
Seasoned ground beef
Shredded lettuce
Shredded cheddar (you can also add mozzarella and/or colby jack)
Chopped Tomato
Red Onion
Sliced Black Olives

Do not cook with toppings added.  NOTE: I don’t know but I would slip this under the broiler for just a second or two to melt down the cheese.  Use your own judgment.

Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers

Makes a large, 14” pizza. Serves 8.
