Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef

- ½ (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
- 1 cup salsa (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 12-inch prepared pizza crust
- 1 ½ cups Mexican-style shredded four-cheese blend

- 1 cup sour cream, or as desired (Optional)
- 1 cup salsa, or as desired (Optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the prepared pizza curst on a baking sheet.
- Blend the diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, salsa, and cilantro in a blender until smooth.
- 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.
- Spread about 1 cup of the diced tomato mixture over the refried beans in an even layer; reserve the remaining sauce.
- Scatter the ground beef mixture over the layer of sauce.
- Cover the beef with 1 1/2 cups Mexican-style shredded cheese blend.
- 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.
- 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.
- For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on the oven rack.

I like pizza, I like tacos, yet somehow this was missing something. I made a homemade crust which was thick and delicious. I made homemade refried beans which were good. Used mozzarella instead of the Mexican 4 cheese blend which I didn’t have. But where I think I went wrong was I used Rotel canned tomatoes instead of fresh or salsa, I think regular pizza sauce would have done okay. Green olives instead of black. Also it took almost 25 minutes for the thick crust to bake. The sour creme was difficult to spread on the lettuce. Used a hot pepper sauce which was very good.
We loved it! I didn’t add salsa to the diced tomato mixture since I didn’t have any – so I thought it might taste bland BUT the taco seasoning on the meat was a perfect balance to the tomato mixture. I also didn’t have cilantro which I’m sure would have added another dimension and been wonderful. I forgot to add the black olives! In spite of those omissions the pizza was still wonderful. I made my own yeast pizza dough…next time I will bake the dough 10-15 minutes before putting the refried beans on.
It was my first time making a pizza period. I substituted a couple ingredients for my sauce because I’m picky but everything else was made according to the recipe. I was impressed by the appearance as well as the flavor. I fed a friend of mine and he liked it so much that he took the leftovers home. Of course, as usual I forgot to take a photo. Sorry guys.
made it. loved it. will make it again. didn’t change a thing. thank you!
This is a great recipe. Instead of the tomato mixture on top of the beans, I decided to mix salsa with the refried beans. Makes it a little quicker and easier, plus tastes great! I also added crumbled tortilla chips on top of this and it was so good!
Delicious! I don’t like premade crust but it is good for a time crunch and for leftovers because the pizza was very wet (might have been heavy handed because I didn’t measure). Only slight adjustments were thinning out the beans with a little of the sauce, and for the 2nd pizza I added the olives before baking to keep them from falling off.
I made my own cauliflower crust the night before ! Total prep time was about 2 hours with all the chopping of fruits and veggies, cooking the meat and layering the pizza. I make my own taco seasoning! I added avocado ?? and extra cilantro as well as nacho chips sprinkled on top. It was very filling and delicious ??!
We made this delicious taco pizza using the thin crust pizza dough!!! Fabulous!!
Added all the topping on then baked. Turned out great!
Delicious as is!
Delicious! I used pillsbury pizza crust and followed the recipe exactly. Can’t wait to make it again with our own twist
I will definitely make it again!
Minus the black olives … it was delish!!
I used a thin prepared crust and did not adjust the toppings correctly. The other half said it was OK but missing something, I think it had too much cold toppings for the thin crust. It would have been better on a regular thicker crust, or the thin would have worked if I used less toppings. I will give a little time to past for the other half, and try it again on a thicker crust, and post a update to this.
Very good and easy to make
amazing taco pizza. everyone loved it. only thing we did different is add some crushed up nacho doritos to the top like our local pizza restaurant does.
Fantastic recipe! Wouldn’t change a thing. I used a Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough crust and skipped the cilantro in the “sauce”. Will definitely make again.
Great recipe. Family fave, I used to order taco pizzas from East of Chicago ages ago. They were like $20 back then, then they closed in our area. So this is great!
The pizza is heavier but still very good. Will make again. Was even better warmed up next day.
This was delicious! I used homemade pizza crust (that I had previously partially baked and froze). It was thin and crispy, so it gave it a taco shell-like crunch. I put green onions and olives on it before baking, and added tomatoes, lettuce, avocado slices (we love avocado with our tacos), and sour cream to it afterwards. I made it per the recipe, but the thing I would change would be the sauce. I think there was way too much. Too much on the pizza itself, and then too much leftover. Although it was really a delicious sauce, I don’t think it needs a whole can of tomato and a cup of salsa. Maybe next time I’ll use just one or the other, still adding the cilantro. Otherwise, it was really delicious, and I will make again!
Delicious and so easy to put together.
