Instructions
Creating Mouthwatering Taco Pizza is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning mix with the meat and follow the package instructions, usually adding water and simmering for a few minutes.
4. Prepare the Crust: Roll out your pizza crust on a floured surface if using homemade dough. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
5. Spread Meat: Evenly spread the seasoned ground beef over the pizza crust.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the meat layer.
7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
8. Prepare Toppings: While the pizza is baking, prepare the fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, and red onion.
9. Remove Pizza: Once the pizza is done, carefully remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10. Top It Off: Add the fresh toppings evenly over the pizza. Drizzle sour cream and salsa as desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro if using.
11. Slice and Serve: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
