Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Taco sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle (or desired shape) and place it onto the prepared pan. Brush the crust with olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy texture.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning. Set aside.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by an even scattering of the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
While the pizza bakes, prepare the fresh toppings. Shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and slice the black olives.
Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.
Drizzle sour cream and taco sauce over the fresh toppings. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy The Best Taco Pizza Ever!
