If you had to find something wrong with pizza (which is purely hypothetical, because pizza is a delicious gift bestowed on us by the universe), you could make the case that pizza has just one shortcoming, which is this: It is not tacos. (Phew, that was really hard to say! Because we love pizza. But also…we love tacos. Luckily, this taco pizza recipe means you’ll never, ever be forced to choose between these two near-perfect recipes, whose only faults lie in them not simultaneously being the other. So sure, pizza can’t be tacos, and tacos can’t be pizza, but together they can be taco pizza, and you can make that pizza at home whenever you want.
