Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Spread the refried beans evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the seasoned ground beef evenly over the refried beans.

Step 8

Top the pizza with shredded Mexican blend cheese, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 11

Top the pizza with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.

Step 12

Drizzle with sour cream and salsa, or serve them on the side for dipping.
