Taco Pizza: A Flavorful Fusion of Pizza and Tacos

If you love pizza and tacos, why not combine the two? Taco pizza takes all the best parts of a taco—seasoned meat, fresh vegetables, melted cheese, and a dollop of creamy sauce—and lays them on a crispy pizza crust. The result is a mouthwatering, fun, and family-friendly dish that’s perfect for dinner or a game night.

Here’s how to make it from scratch.


Ingredients

For the crust (or store-bought pizza base):

  • 1 lb (450 g) pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Cornmeal (optional, for dusting the baking sheet)

For the taco meat:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade mix: 1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp paprika, pinch of salt)
  • ½ cup water

For the toppings:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • ½ cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (added after baking)
  • Sour cream or ranch dressing (for drizzling)
  • Salsa (optional, for serving)
  • Jalapeño slices (optional, for spice)

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. For a slightly crispy base, use a rolling pin to achieve about ¼ inch thickness.
  3. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of cornmeal if using.

2. Cook the taco meat

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  2. Drain any excess fat, then add taco seasoning and ½ cup of water.
  3. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and is fully seasoned. Set aside.
