A delicious fusion of taco flavors and cheesy pizza goodness, perfect for family nights or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef (or chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning and water; let simmer until mostly evaporated (about 5 minutes).
  4. Prepare your pizza crust according to instructions; roll it out to your desired thickness if homemade.
  5. Lay the crust on a baking sheet and sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  6. Spoon the seasoned meat mixture over the cheese, then add black beans and corn, followed by the remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with tomatoes, red onion, black olives, avocado, and fresh cilantro.

Feel free to experiment with toppings and crust options, such as cauliflower for a low-carb version.
