Ingredients
- 8-12 ounces pizza dough or a 12-14 inch pre-baked crust.
- ½ pound ground beef see note
- ½ package taco seasoning see note
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup salsa
- 2-3 cups shredded cheddar Monterey Jack or combination
- ¼ cup sliced olives
- Topping options: diced tomato sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, chopped avocado
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- If not using a pre-baked crust, roll out dough to a 12-14 inch circle on a floured surface or floured parchment paper.. Bake directly on oven rack (or on parchment) for 5-8 minutes until starting to turn golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
- While crust is baking, drain the salsa in a strainer. Discard the liquid that is drained off.
- Brown beef in a skillet, until cooked through. Add the taco seasoning and about 1 Tablespoon of water (use less than package directions so meat is not too wet).
- When crust and beef are done assemble the pizza. Spread the refried beans as the first layer. Top with the drained salsa, then the seasoned beef. Sprinkle the olives over this and then the cheese.
- Bake until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with your choice of fresh toppings.

Notes
- I recommend preparing the full pound of ground beef with the full package of seasoning. Then save half of the seasoned meat for tacos or a second pizza. Freeze if not using within a couple days.
