Instructions
- Creating the Best Taco Pizza is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions for adding water. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
- Roll out the pizza crust on a floured surface, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Evenly spread the refried beans over the uncooked pizza crust.
- Spoon the seasoned meat mixture over the refried beans, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the meat layer generously.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- While the pizza is baking, chop the tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Top the pizza with diced tomatoes, red onion, black olives, and shredded lettuce.
- Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top for added crunch.
- Add dollops of sour cream on top or on the side.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
