Taco Pizza Recipe

Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Place the prepared pizza curst on a baking sheet.
5. Blend the diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, salsa, and cilantro in a blender until smooth.
6. 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.
7. Spread about 1 cup of the diced tomato mixture over the refried beans in an even layer; reserve the remaining sauce.
8. Scatter the ground beef mixture over the layer of sauce.
9. Cover the beef with 1 1/2 cups Mexican-style shredded cheese blend.
10. Note: For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on the oven rack.
11. 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.
12. 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.
