• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 30 minutes

Ingredientes

1 tablespoon olive oil (-plus 1 teaspoon for toasting pita)

½ cup chopped onions

½ cup chopped red bell peppers

1 clove garlic (-minced)

1 teaspoon tomato paste

3-4 ounces ground beef (about 3/4 of a cup)

2 tablespoons water

½ teaspoon kosher salt (-plus a pinch for the toasted pita)

¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 piece pita bread

½ cup shredded smoked gouda

sliced avocado (-optional, for topping)

Instruções

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and red bell peppers. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another 30 seconds.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it's well mixed with the vegetables.

Add the ground beef to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons of water, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is fully browned, about 4 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the beef mixture to a plate and set aside.

Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Brush both sides of the pita bread with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toast the pita in the skillet for about 45 seconds per side, just until lightly golden.

Place the toasted pita bread on a baking sheet. Spread the shredded gouda cheese evenly over the pita.

Spoon the cooked meat mixture over the cheese.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the pita pizza from the oven, slice into wedges, and top with sliced avocado if desired. Enjoy hot.
