Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Canned refried beans
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 medium Chopped Roma tomato
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeño slices
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm water, and olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the beef topping by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin 12-inch circle.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add one pizza crust at a time and fry for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each crust, followed by a layer of pizza sauce.
Sprinkle the seasoned ground beef evenly over the pizzas and top with shredded cheese.
Transfer the pizzas to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and jalapeño slices.
Slice and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy, cheesy, nostalgic delight!
