Ingredients

• 1 package (about 1 lb) Pizza dough
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.75 cup Refried beans
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Chopped tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup (crushed) Tortilla chips
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a pizza pan.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the refried beans and salsa until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bean and salsa layer.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the cooked taco-seasoned ground beef over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and black olives.

Step 10

Drizzle sour cream over the top or serve it on the side for dipping. Optionally, garnish with crushed tortilla chips and chopped fresh cilantro for added crunch and flavor.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Taco Pizza!
