Ingredients
- 1 (13.8 ounce) pizza dough refrigerated, canned
- 1 (16 ounce) refried beans Old El Paso brand; canned
- 1 lb. ground beef lean
- 1 (1 ounce) taco seasoning Old El Paso brand, packet
- ½ cup salsa
- 2 cups Mexican style taco cheese blend shredded, 8 ounces; or Old El Paso finely shredded cheddar cheese
- olive optional toppings; olives sliced, lettuce chopped, tomatoes diced, avocado diced or guacamole, red onion diced or green onion sliced
- lettuce
- tomato
- avocado
- sour cream
- cilantro
- onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Unroll dough and press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake crust for 8 minutes, or just until lightly browned.
- While the crust bakes, cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain and return to skillet. Stir in taco seasoning mix and 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes (stirring often), until thickened. Stir in salsa.
- Spread refried beans onto the baked crust. Spoon beef mixture over the refried beans. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 6-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Cut into squares, garnish with optional toppings, and serve.
Notes
- I prefer the Old El Paso Mexican Style Taco Cheese Blend for this recipe, because it's a perfect complement to taco meat. You can substitute with any of the other Old El Paso shredded cheeses. The Mexican Style 4 Cheese Blend and the Finely Shredded Cheddar are both favorites around here as well.
- Any pizza dough will work for this recipe. I like the can of refrigerated dough because it's convenient, but you can certainly prepare your own dough from scratch, buy a ball of fresh dough from the store, or use a prepared, baked pizza crust and just add the toppings.
- No matter which type of pizza dough you use, I recommend pre-baking the crust before adding the toppings. This helps the crust stay crisp and firm (and avoids a soggy, mushy mess), even when it's piled high with beans, beef and cheese.
- Use the same ingredients to prepare your Taco Pizzas on flour or corn tortillas instead of a traditional pizza crust. I recommend pre-baking the tortillas (just like you would pre-bake the pizza dough) in order to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Substitute with ground turkey or ground chicken instead of the beef.
