Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (12-inch) Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.75 cup Refried beans
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), and lightly oil a pizza pan or baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the meat is coated in a thick, flavorful sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Roll out or stretch the pizza dough onto the prepared pan, shaping it into a 12-inch circle or rectangle.
Spread the refried beans evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Spoon the salsa over the beans and spread it gently to cover the layer beneath.
Sprinkle the taco-seasoned beef evenly over the salsa, followed by the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.
Drizzle the sour cream over the pizza, or serve it on the side for dipping. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Slice the pizza into wedges or squares and serve immediately. Enjoy!
