Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 0.5 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup refried beans
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup jalapeño slices
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup black olives, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the seasoning is well combined with the beef. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preferred shape. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a preheated stone.
Spread the refried beans evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Spoon the salsa on top of the beans and spread it out to create another thin layer.
Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the salsa.
Scatter the seasoned ground beef evenly across the pizza, followed by the jalapeño slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and black olives.
Top with the remaining cheese, ensuring all toppings are evenly covered.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for freshness.
Drizzle with sour cream or serve with sour cream on the side for dipping.
Slice into wedges or squares and serve immediately. Enjoy your Tex-Mex Pizza!
