Easy Taco Pizza — A Family-Favorite Fusion of Two Classics!

 

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep:
    Heat your oven to 375°F.

  2. Cook the Meat:
    In a skillet, brown ground beef and drain the excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions.

  3. Build the Crust:
    Unroll crescent rolls into rectangles. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet and press together to form a crust, pressing about ½ inch up the sides.

  4. Bake the Crust:
    Bake for 11–13 minutes until lightly golden.

  5. Layer the Beans:
    Microwave refried beans for 1 minute, then spread evenly over the warm crust.

  6. Add the Toppings:
    Layer seasoned beef, sprinkle on cheese, then add tomatoes, olives, and green onions.

  7. Bake Again:
    Return to the oven for 3–6 minutes, or until the cheese melts beautifully.

  8. Serve Hot & Enjoy!
    Slice and serve immediately — 12 main-dish servings or 48 appetizer bites!


🍽️ What to Serve With Taco Pizza

This pizza pairs perfectly with:

  • Mexican Street Corn Salad

  • Fresh Guacamole and Chips

  • Cold Mango Lime Margaritas (or limeade for a kid-friendly twist!)


💡 Tips for Success

  • For an extra-crispy crust, pre-bake the crescent rolls for a minute longer before layering.

  • If using spicy refried beans, balance them with a bit of sour cream on top.

  • Want to make it ahead? Bake the crust and prep the meat in advance — just assemble before serving.


🧊 Storage

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly again.

  • Freeze: You can freeze the baked crust and taco meat separately for easy future prep.
