Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the taco meat:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet (1 oz / 28 g) taco seasoning mix (or homemade seasoning: chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water

For the toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup (250 ml) refried beans, warmed (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) black olives, sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced or mashed
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) sour cream, for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup salsa or taco sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 13×18-inch sheet pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the crust:
    • Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough to fit the sheet pan. If needed, use your fingers to press the dough evenly into the corners.
    • Brush the dough with olive oil and bake for 7–8 minutes, or until it just starts to set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Cook the taco meat:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned and no longer pink (5–7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
    • Stir in the minced garlic, taco seasoning, and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the pizza:
    • Spread a thin layer of warmed refried beans over the pre-baked crust (optional).
    • Evenly spread the seasoned taco meat over the beans.
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top.
  5. Bake:
    • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Add fresh toppings:
    • Once out of the oven, top the pizza with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, avocado, green onions, and cilantro (if using).
    • Drizzle with sour cream and serve with salsa or taco sauce on the side for dipping.
  7. Serve:
    • Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy this fun twist on taco night!

Notes

  • Make it your own: Add toppings like pickled jalapeños, corn, or crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.
  • Crust options: Use a store-bought flatbread, crescent roll dough, or homemade pizza dough.
  • Refried beans: The beans add a nice base layer but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Make ahead: Cook the taco meat ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the pizza.
