- 1 medium skillet
- 1 oven etc.
Ingredients
Savory Seasoning:
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
Protein and Beans:
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1/4 cup of refried beans
Pizza Base:
- 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough
Cheese Duo:
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese optional

- 2/3 cup of pizza sauce
- 2/3 cup of taco sauce
Optional Toppings:
- Sour cream or ranch dressing

Instructions
- Start off by warming a medium-sized skillet and adding the ground beef. Drain the excess fat before stirring in the taco seasoning packet with a splash of water, combining until fully incorporated.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, then spread over it a combination of taco sauce, tomato sauce and refried beans. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese.
- Top the sauce and cheese with the seasoned beef, then finish off by adding a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
- Pop it in the oven at 450 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until the golden crust is beautifully browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving with a side of sour cream or ranch dressing and optional diced tomatoes, lettuce and black olives. Dig in!
- For a flavorful alternative, try adding jalapeno slices or cooked chorizo crumbles to the beef mixture for added spice.
Notes
Make the pizza dough thinner if you want a crispy crust, or wait for the crust to turn golden and crisp. If you like a chewy crust, make thicker pizza dough instead of using thin dough, and don’t overcook it.
