What is Taco Pizza?

Never heard of one? Well, it’s pizza dough with a heavenly topping or refried beans, salsa, and taco beef. I discovered it in the hopes of saving my leftover taco beef from the previous night. But this dish was a lot better than my expectations! Sprinkle a lot of cheese to really make it work.

Tips and Tricks

• Before you spread your topping on the dough, get rid of that extra grease. It can make your dough soggy, and that’s something we don’t want. So, take a few paper towels and press out the extra oil from your beef.
• For that perfect crunch in the pizza, bake for about 10-15 minutes.
• Warm the refried beans before trying to spread them. You’ll save a lot of time and hand movement.

Ingredients:

• Prepared pizza crust
• Ground beef
• Taco seasoning
• Refried beans
• Pico de gallo or salsa
• Shredded taco or Mexican blend cheese
• Shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions, and sour cream for toppings

How to make Taco Pizza:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is completely browned.

Step 3. Add the taco seasoning to the ground beef, and saute for a few minutes longer.

Step 4. Combine the refried beans and pico de gallo or salsa in a bowl, and stir to combine.

Step 5. Spread the bean mixture out in an even layer over the prepared pizza crust.

Step 6. Top the bean mixture with the meat.

Step 7. Sprinkle the cheese on top, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.

Step 8. Top the pizza with the shredded lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, and any other toppings you may desire before serving. Enjoy!

Now, remember to save this recipe on  Pinterest for later 🙂

What Can I Serve with Taco Pizza?

It’s a meal on its own. But for heavy-eaters, a few extra sides never hurt. You can try some tortilla chips with guacamole or a salad. I’ve tried it with some nachos and Mexican rice. Absolutely delicious!

How to Store Taco Pizza for Later?

It’s a magical moment to have some leftovers of this delicious pizza. You’re lucky! Ours gets gobbled down in a blink of an eye. Anyway, before you store your pizza, cool it. Then cut it into squares. Now you can place these yummy bites in an airtight Tupperware or a huge Ziploc bag. It’ll remain for two days max.

When you’re ready to eat it, simply microwave it. Or maybe air fry for a crispier bite.

Variations for Taco Pizza

This recipe is so versatile that you can play with it as much as you want. You can add jalapenos, black beans, corn, and so much more. Or even replace the beef with sausage or turkey. Also, try to play with different cheese combinations like cheddar, feta cheese, and pepper jack.
