Let’s all go pizza crazy! We love getting creative with our pizza night. Some of our other favorites are this Meatball Pizza, this Cheeseburger Pizza, or this BBQ Chicken Pizza. Or check out any of our other pizza recipes.

I love tacos.  I would be more than happy to have taco night at least once a week.  In fact, when my husband and I first started dating, tacos were the first meal that we made together.

Another family favorite in our house is pizza. We have pizza a lot.

So I decided to combine two of my favorites – tacos and pizza.  Seriously – they are totally a match made in heaven!!

I think I’m going to have to start combining foods more often, because these were mighty tasty.  Now I just need to think of the next thing my tacos would taste good on top of!

Ingredients

• Pizza Dough: I like to use my homemade pizza dough recipe. It really makes this pizza amazing! But you can use store bought dough if you don’t want to make your own.
• Ground Beef: Sub in ground turkey for the beef, if that is what you like better.
• Taco Seasoning: You can use homemade taco seasoning or store bought.
• Refried Beans: Again, you can use homemade refried beans or store bought.
• Cheese: I like to use shredded cheddar cheese because that is what we put on our ground beef tacos.
• Toppings: You can get creative here! I like to add shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.

How to Make Taco Pizza

1. Cook your ground beef, then add the taco seasoning. While that is cooking, heat the beans up until they are warm and spreadable.
2. Roll or stretch your dough out into a large circle. (I make mine as wide as the parchment paper.)
3. Spread the beans over the dough, then top with the ground beef mixture, followed by the cheese.
4. Bake until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted.

Tips and Tricks

I am a huge believer in using a pizza stone. They are fairly inexpensive and make a big difference.

If you don’t have a pizza stone, you don’t need to preheat your oven for the full 30 minutes.

I like to use parchment paper when I bake my pizza. I’m not great at sliding the dough from the paddle to the pizza stone, so this trick has been a lifesaver for me!

If you like an extra crispy crust, you can par-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the toppings.

You can add the toppings to the top of the pizza before serving, or you can let each person add their own desired toppings.

The first time I made this recipe, I made 4 mini pizzas from the dough. The kids love them when they are mini!

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 pound pizza dough*
• ▢ 1/2 pound ground beef

• ▢ 1 cup refried beans
• ▢ 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• ▢ Optional toppings – shredded lettuce pico de Gallo, sour cream, or guacamole

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 450ºF. (If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven and preheat for at least 30 minutes.)

• Place the refried beans in a small pot and cook over medium heat until warmed through.
• Stretch or roll the pizza dough out into a 12” circle. Top the dough with the refried beans, followed by the taco meat. Then top with the cheese.
• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and top with your desired toppings before serving.

Recipe Notes:

*I like my pizza crust a little thinner, so I will use about 12 oz of dough per pizza instead of 1 pound.
