Ingredients
- 16 ounces pizza dough
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ounce taco seasoning (1 packet)
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup salsa
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup crushed nacho chips
- Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, sliced olives, taco sauce
Instructions
- Let pizza dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, brown beef in a large skillet, drain off excess grease. Add the taco seasoning, add water called for on the package, and cook according to the package instructions. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Press the or roll the dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan, pizza stone, or larger pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes in preheated oven. Remove from the oven.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the pizza crust. If you are using a 12-inch pan you might not need all of it. If you're using a larger pizza pan or a 9x13 pan you will use all of it.
- Sprinkle the ground beef mixture on the pizza, then sprinkle the cheese top. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the oven and top with crushed chips, tomatoes, lettuce or any other toppings you desire.

Notes
- For best results, store taco pizza without the extra toppings. However, you can still store leftovers that have the toppings. Just keep in mind that the chips may get soggy and the diced tomatoes could get watery.
- To reheat, pop a slice or two in the oven or toaster oven until heated through.
