Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust:
- 1 (16 oz) package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- For the taco meat:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- For the toppings:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Sour cream, for garnish
- Salsa, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough and press it into a greased sheet pan, stretching it to fit the pan’s edges. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, or until it begins to set and turns slightly golden.
- Cook the taco meat:
- While the crust is pre-baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Assemble the pizza:
- Spread the taco meat evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the meat.
- Bake the pizza:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add fresh toppings:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with sour cream and serve with salsa on the side.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite taco ingredients like jalapeños, guacamole, or hot sauce.
- For a vegetarian version, swap the meat for black beans or refried beans.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
