📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil.

2. Roll out the pre-made pizza dough onto the prepared pan, creating a circle or rectangle shape according to your preference.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

4. Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the cooked beef. Stir well, then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. Spread the refried beans evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

6. Sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend on top of the refried beans.

7. Evenly distribute the seasoned taco meat over the cheese layer.

8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the taco meat.

9. 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.

10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

11. Top the pizza with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and crushed tortilla chips.

12. Drizzle sour cream in thin lines or dollops across the top of the pizza.
