Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 Large prepared pizza crust

Meat

  • 1 lb. Ground beef
  • 1 Packet taco seasoning

Bean Mixture

  • 1 Can refried beans
  • ⅓ Cup Pico de gallo or salsa

Cheese

  • 1 ½ Cups Shredded taco or Mexican blend cheese

Toppings

  • Shredded lettuce
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pizza once assembled.
  2. Cook the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  3. Add taco seasoning: Sprinkle in the taco seasoning packet and sauté the beef for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend thoroughly.
  4. Prepare the bean mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the refried beans with pico de gallo or salsa until well combined to create a flavorful base layer.
  5. Spread the bean mixture: Evenly spread the bean and salsa mixture over the prepared pizza crust, covering the surface completely.
  6. Add meat topping: Layer the seasoned ground beef evenly over the bean mixture on the pizza crust.
  7. Sprinkle cheese: Generously cover the pizza with shredded taco or Mexican blend cheese, ensuring all toppings are well covered.
  8. Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  9. Add fresh toppings and serve: Once out of the oven, top the pizza with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions, and dollops of sour cream. Add any additional desired toppings before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Use gluten-free pizza crust if you require a gluten-free dish.
  • Customize the toppings by adding jalapeños or black olives for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper with the seasoning.
  • Leftover taco pizza can be reheated in the oven for a crispy finish or in the microwave for convenience.
