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
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- 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.
- 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
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Drain any excess fat, then add taco seasoning and ½ cup of water.
- Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and is fully seasoned. Set aside.
