Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pizza bases (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Black olives, sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

Step 3

Once the beef is fully cooked, add the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each pizza base, covering it evenly.

Step 5

Divide the cooked ground beef evenly among the pizza bases, spreading it over the refried beans.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend generously over the pizzas.

Step 7

Top each pizza with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, and black olives.

Step 8

Place the pizzas on baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 9

While the pizzas are baking, prepare the crema drizzle by whisking together sour cream, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Transfer to a zip-top bag and cut a small corner for easy drizzling.

Step 10

Once the pizzas are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 11

Top with diced avocado and chopped cilantro.

Step 12

Drizzle the lime crema generously over each pizza and serve immediately.
