Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions for the pizza dough (typically 425°F or 220°C).
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water, stirring until well combined. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Add the Salsa: Spread a thin layer of salsa over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top with Meat and Cheese: Evenly distribute the seasoned meat over the salsa, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to the dough instructions, typically about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Finish with Fresh Toppings: Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, and red onion on top.
- Serve: Slice the pizza and serve with extra salsa and sour cream on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Tips for Success
- Make It Personal: Allow family members to customize their slices with toppings they love! Set up a taco bar next to the pizza for a fun twist.
