Ingredients

• 1 large Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Taco sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle (or desired shape) and place it onto the prepared pan. Brush the crust with olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy texture.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning. Set aside.

Step 4

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by an even scattering of the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 7

While the pizza bakes, prepare the fresh toppings. Shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and slice the black olives.

Step 8

Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.

Step 9

Drizzle sour cream and taco sauce over the fresh toppings. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 10

Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy The Best Taco Pizza Ever!
