Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 2 cups shredded cheese
Toppings:
- 1 cup taco sauce
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn, canned or frozen
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup sliced olives
- ½ cup chopped green onions
Serving Condiments:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup salsa
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a blazing 425F (220C) to ensure a crispy foundation for your taco pizza adventure.
- Stretch 1 lb of pizza dough across an entire sheet pan, making sure it covers the surface evenly.
- Pour and spread 1 cup of taco sauce across the dough, creating a zesty base layer that will make your taste buds dance.
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a skillet, stirring constantly until no pink remains, then sprinkle the entire taco seasoning packet, mixing thoroughly.
- Distribute the seasoned beef across the pizza surface, creating a hearty meaty landscape.
- Scatter 1 cup black beans, 1 cup corn, 1 cup diced tomatoes, and ½ cup sliced olives across the pizza, ensuring each bite will be packed with flavor.
- Blanket the entire pizza with 2 cups of shredded cheese, making sure every topping gets a cheesy hug.
- Slide the sheet pan into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until your crust turns golden and the cheese transforms into a bubbling masterpiece.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 3-5 minutes, allowing the toppings to settle and the crust to crisp.
- Sprinkle ½ cup chopped green onions across the top for a fresh, sharp finish.
- Serve with ½ cup sour cream and ½ cup salsa on the side, letting everyone customize their slice.
Notes
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles to make the pizza leaner or vegetarian.
- Pre-cook the beef completely to prevent excess moisture from making the pizza crust soggy.
- Use a pizza stone or preheat your baking sheet for an extra crispy crust that holds up to hearty toppings.
- Fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeños can add a bright, spicy finish to boost the taco pizza’s flavor profile.
