Description
A delicious blend of pizza and taco flavors with a crispy crust, savory beef, creamy beans, and fresh toppings.
Ingredients
- Homemade pizza crust (or your favorite prepared dough)
- Refried beans
- Salsa (chunky or smooth)
- Taco-seasoned ground beef
- Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend)
- Taco toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to your pizza crust instructions (usually 450°F–500°F / 230°C–260°C) and place a pizza stone in the oven if using.
- Roll out the crust and set it on a pizza stone or baking sheet (parchment helps with easy transfer).
- Spread refried beans in an even layer over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Spoon salsa over the beans lightly, as a “taco drizzle.”
- Add the taco-seasoned ground beef evenly across the pizza.
- Sprinkle cheese generously over everything, reaching close to the edges.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling (typically 10–15 minutes, depending on dough thickness and oven temp).
- Cool 2–3 minutes, then add fresh taco toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, etc.).
- Slice and serve while the base is hot and the toppings are crisp.
Notes
For a crispy crust, make sure to use thick salsa and well-drained meat. Always add lettuce last to maintain its crunch.
