  • 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef, onion, chili powder and salt over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown. Transfer to medium bowl, cover with foil; set aside.

    Spread tomato mixture over partially baked crust to within 1/4 inch of edges. Top with 1 cup of the cheese, then the beef mixture. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese and the olives. Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Top with cilantro and sour cream.
