🌮🍕 Taco Pizza: The Ultimate Fusion of Two Favorites

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, allow it to heat while you assemble the pizza.

Step 2 — Cook the Meat

In a skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water (as directed on the packet). Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Step 3 — Prep the Base

Spread refried beans or a thin layer of sour cream on the pizza crust if using. This adds a creamy, savory layer that helps the toppings stick.

Step 4 — Assemble the Pizza

• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the base.

• Evenly spread the seasoned meat on top.

• Add onions, tomatoes, olives, and corn.

• Top with the remaining cheese.

Step 5 — Bake

Place the pizza in the oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 6 — Add Fresh Toppings

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Then top with shredded lettuce, fresh tomatoes, jalapeños, and drizzle with sour cream or ranch. Add salsa or hot sauce if desired.

Step 7 — Slice and Serve

Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Each slice delivers the perfect mix of cheesy, savory, and fresh taco flavors in every bite.

Tips & Variations

• Spicy Twist: Add chopped pickled jalapeños or hot sauce to the meat before baking.

• Vegetarian Option: Use black beans or refried beans instead of meat.

• Cheesy Upgrade: Mix in pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.

• Make Ahead: Assemble without fresh toppings, cover, and refrigerate. Add lettuce and sauces just before
