TACO PIZZA
It all came to me one night when we had some leftover refried beans and ground beef from our ‘Taco Tuesday.’ I whipped up my easy pizza dough recipe and stretched the dough to fit in a large baking sheet. I loaded it up with the leftover beans, taco meat, and cheese. Some diced tomatoes and sliced olives were also added. After the baking process was done, I sprinkled on some green onion, salsa, and sour cream. My entire family thought it was a hit! Now, everyone in the house asks for Taco Pizza all the time.

INGREDIENTS FOR TACO PIZZA
When it comes to the toppings, I highly recommend getting creative! If there is a certain taco topping that you love, make sure to add it to your list.
- Pizza dough
- 1-pound lean ground beef
- 1 envelope taco seasoning mix
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 3 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
- Diced tomato
- Sliced black olives
- Green onion
- Sour Cream
- Salsa
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. (If using refrigerated dough preheat oven according to package directions.) Prepare the dough and stretch it out to fit in a large 12×17-inch baking sheet. Spread the refried beans evenly over the dough, then top with cooked, ground beef and cheese. Top evenly with tomatoes and olives.
Bake pizza for 16 to 18 minutes, or until crust is golden-brown. Carefully remove pizza from oven. Let stand at least 5 to 10 minutes to cool slightly. Sprinkle with green onion then slice into squares. Serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
TIPS
Drain the grease from the ground beef after cooking. Too much grease can cause the dough to get soggy.
Warm the refried beans before spreading on the dough. This will make sure they spread much easier.
Get creative and use toppings that you love. This will ensure you enjoy every bite!
STORING LEFTOVERS
If you have any pizza leftover, make sure to cool it fist then cut into squares. Store in a Tupperware or container with a lid. A large Ziplock bag works great too. Pizza stays well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the microwave, or for a delicious crispy crust air fry any leftovers!
