Creating the Irresistible Taco Pizza Appetizer is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef (or turkey). Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Seasoning: Drain excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning. Follow package instructions, adding water if required. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
4. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone according to package instructions.
5. Spread the Meat: Evenly distribute the seasoned meat over the prepared pizza crust.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat layer, covering it well.
7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Prepare Toppings: While the pizza is baking, prepare the toppings. Chop the lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and green onions.
9. Assemble the Pizza: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and green onions.
10. Finish with Sauces: Drizzle sour cream and salsa over the top. Add sliced jalapeños for extra flavor if desired.
11. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve warm.

With these steps, you’ll have a stunning taco pizza that’s ready to impress.
