Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 pound ground beef or plant-based alternative
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup refried beans
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup chopped red onions
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
Optional: crushed tortilla chips, jalapeño slices, cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheat.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, then drain excess fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough to desired thickness and place on parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.
- Spread refried beans over the dough, then add taco meat evenly on top.
- Sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the pizza.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Top with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, and red onions.
- Mix sour cream with milk and drizzle over pizza. Add optional toppings like crushed tortilla chips, jalapeño slices, or cilantro.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Use spicy sausage or shredded chicken as a meat alternative.
Make it vegetarian with black beans or tofu.
Try guacamole or avocado slices for added richness.
Use a whole wheat or cauliflower crust for a healthier option.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 8–10 minutes for best results.
