Hola, amigos! Today, we’re taking a detour from traditional Italian pizzerias and heading straight to the vibrant streets of Mexico. Why choose between tacos and pizza when you can have both? That’s right – we’re making Taco Pizza, a culinary mashup that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. So, preheat your ovens and get ready for a fiesta in your mouth!
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or your favorite pizza dough
- 1/2 lb. ground beef

Preparation:
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Start by heating your oven according to the pizza crust package instructions.
Step 2: Brown the Beef
- Cook the ground beef in a pan over medium heat until it’s nicely browned, then drain any excess fat.
Step 3: Season
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Crust Time
- Roll out your pizza crust onto a baking sheet or pizza stone, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 5: Meaty Layer
- Evenly spread the taco meat over the crust.
Step 6: Cheese, Please!
- Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the meat.
Step 7: Veggie Toppings
- Add the diced tomatoes, red onions, and black olives on top of the cheese.
Step 8: Bake It
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven following the crust package’s directions.
Step 9: Garnish and Serve
