Mexican Taco Pizza Recipe
Imagine enjoying your favorite beef taco ingredients, in pizza form, and that’s what you have in this easy taco pizza that’s ready in 20 minutes. Instead of traditional pizza sauce, I spread a layer of refried beans over the crust. The refried beans are a natural complement to the taco-seasoned ground beef and onions. It’s a match made in heaven and gets even better when there’s melted cheese. The fresh tomatoes and cilantro are great cooling contrasts to the warm, steamy pizza. You’ll see the exact ingredients I used in the recipe card below, but feel free to adjust the toppings on this taco pizza recipe to suit your own preferences.
Ingredients in Taco Pizza
To make this homemade taco pizza, you’ll need:
Sweet Vidalia onion Lean ground beef – Ground turkey or even ground chicken will also work, but the flavor will be slightly different Taco seasoning – I use a taco seasoning packet, but you can make your own with everyday spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder Frozen pizza crusts – I made two 8-ounce crusts and bought my frozen pizza crusts from Trader Joe’s. The true net weight of the box of the two crusts was 15.55, close enough to 16 ounces. Use frozen crusts straight from the freezer. No need to thaw first Black seasoned refried beans Shredded mozzarella cheese Shredded Mexican cheese blend – If preferred, you can substitute Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, or use a combination of cheese Roma tomato Fresh cilantro
