Taco Pizza is a Mexican meets Italian dinner. Pizza dough topped with beans, salsa, beef, cheese, and all the toppings.If you're looking to switch up your Taco Tuesday, this Taco Pizza is the perfect twist on dinner!
Toppings:diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, sour cream, and taco sauce
Instructions
Let pizza dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
While dough is resting, brown beef in a large skillet. Add the taco seasoning, add water called for on the package, and cook according to the package instructions. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Press the or roll the dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan, pizza stone, or larger pan (see note). Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven.
In a small bowl, stir together the refried beans and salsa. Spread a thin layer onto the pizza crust. If you are using a 12-inch pan you might not need all of it. If you're using a larger pizza pan or a 9x13 pan you will use all of it.
Sprinkle with the ground beef mixture, cheese, and olives. Bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Remove from the oven and top with tomatoes and green onions. You can add a dollop of sour cream to the center or let everyone top their own. Add taco sauce if desired.
Notes
You can make or buy pizza dough. Your bakery often will sell it premade (around $2). It will range in weight between 12-16 ounces. If you like a thick crust, use a 12" pan and for a thinner crust use a 14" or 16" pan. You could even use a 9x13 pan.
