  • While baking the crust, set the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown, drain the grease, then add the water and taco seasoning ingredients and let simmer until the water is evaporated.

Notes

  • Refrigerated pizza dough makes this recipe super quick and easy, but you can use homemade, too! You can even use crescent rolls, though the flavor will be more buttery.
  • Any of your favorite taco toppings will be delicious on this taco pizza. I like adding sauteed peppers and jalapeno slices, or giving it a fresh twist with radish slices and pickled red onion!
  • Change up the flavor profiles by using different salsa! Smokey chipotle salsa will give it a rich savory flavor, or try out a peach or mango salsa for a delightfully sweet twist.
  • Reheating this pizza in the toaster oven or air fryer will keep the crust toasty and crisp.
  • This is a perfect recipe for using up leftover taco meat!
