When you have a two year old, you often find yourself coming up with weird or slightly odd phrases. Mac ‘n cheese in our house is now called, “Mac and cheese pasta.” The “Night Time Song” is actually “All My Loving” by the Beatles. Additionally, the silly pajamas that are printed with random food have been deemed the “Taco Pizza PJs.”
These PJs are a favorite and worn all the time. But, I was about 18 weeks pregnant and it happened to be Taco Pizza PJ night when I couldn’t help but think, “Yep. Taco Pizza sounds delicious.” A pregnancy craving mash up that actually sounded good to my non-pregnant family members. Unlike my recent Tootsie Roll craving (which isn’t even a mash up, but gets a lot of hate).
So, we went with it. For the record, I know this isn’t a new idea. In fact it’s been a favorite of mine for a while, but I had forgotten about it. Also, as I told people about, it seemed like a new idea to them. So here it is (or at least one version we love)!

My Findings:
EXACTLY what I was craving. I replaced the refried beans with black beans because that’s what we like better. I also used a regular crust, but would recommend a thin crust for next time for a crunchier bite.
Turner’s Findings:
It was quick for them to make & eat, which means I had more attention!!
Smooch’s Findings:
Really delicious, especially with the addition of hot sauce to my slices.
Smooch 2.0’s Findings:
I usually don’t like pizza, but I LOVED this. Probably because tacos are my favorite.
Dinner inspiration can be difficult, especially when you feel like you cook the same thing all the time or your kid/spouse will only eat a few things. Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Or find dinner ideas in weird places- like a pair of pajamas.
