We love to order taco pizza from the local pizza parlor but it got too expensive. So I came up with this variation of it that my family loves! It can be suited to match anyone's tastes and the ready-made crust makes it a snap on busy days. Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 clove garlic |
1/2 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix |
1/3 cup water |
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion |
1 cup salsa |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 cup refried beans |
1 12-inch prepared pizza crust |
1 1/2 cups mexican-style shredded four-cheese blend |
2 cups shredded lettuce |
2 tomatoes, chopped |
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained |
1/4 cup chopped green onion |
1/2 cup mexican-style shredded four-cheese blend |
1 cup sour cream, or as desired (optional) |
1 cup salsa, or as desired (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook and stir the ground beef, onion, and garlic together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is completely browned; drain fat from the skillet.
2. Stir the taco seasoning mix and water into the beef mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
3. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Place the prepared pizza curst on a baking sheet.
5. Blend the diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, salsa, and cilantro in a blender until smooth.
6. Spread the refried beans in an even layer on the prepared pizza crust, leaving a border of about 1/2-inch uncovered around the outside.
7. Spread about 1 cup of the diced tomato mixture over the refried beans in an even layer; reserve the remaining sauce.
8. Scatter the ground beef mixture over the layer of sauce.
9. Cover the beef with 1 1/2 cups Mexican-style shredded cheese blend.
10. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes; set aside to cool 5 minutes.
11. Top the pizza with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and 1/2 cup Mexican-style shredded cheese blend. Serve with the reserved sauce, sour cream, and 1 cup salsa.
