This unique dish is perfect for those who love both tacos and pizza and can’t decide which one to have. With its crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and gooey cheese, taco pizza is sure to be a hit at your next gathering or family dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pizza dough
• 1/2 cup refried beans
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 cup cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
• 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced red onions
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Crust

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 2: Spreading the Base

Spread the refried beans evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, spread the salsa over the beans. This will create a flavorful base for your taco pizza.

Step 3: Adding the Toppings

Sprinkle the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken over the salsa. Make sure to distribute it evenly. Then, cover the meat with the shredded Mexican cheese blend. Feel free to add more cheese if you prefer a cheesier pizza.

Step 4: Adding the Vegetables

Now it’s time to add the diced tomatoes, diced red onions, sliced black olives, and chopped fresh cilantro. These toppings will add freshness and crunch to your taco pizza.

Step 5: Baking the Pizza

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6: Serving and Garnishing

Once the taco pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, drizzle sour cream over the top and garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.

Taco pizza is a versatile dish that can be customized to suit your taste. You can add additional toppings such as jalapenos, avocado, or even pineapple for a unique twist. Serve it as a main course or cut it into smaller pieces for appetizers at parties. This delicious fusion of flavors is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
