Easy Taco Pizza combines the best of both worlds—tacos and pizza—into a delicious and fun-to-make dish. With a crescent roll crust, seasoned ground beef, refried beans, and a variety of fresh toppings, this recipe is perfect for family meals or casual gatherings.
Cook Ground Beef: Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 7-10 minutes; drain excess fat.
Add Taco Seasoning: Return beef to the skillet, add 1 envelope taco seasoning mix with ½-2/3 cup water; simmer until most liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally.
Unroll Crescent Rolls: Unroll 2 cans of crescent rolls into rectangles; press into an 11.5x16.5 inch jelly roll pan to form the crust, pressing ½ inch up the edges.
Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes until golden brown.
Heat Refried Beans: Microwave 1 can of refried beans for 1 minute to soften.
Spread Refried Beans: Spread the warmed refried beans over the baked crust.
Add Ground Beef: Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly over the refried beans.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle 2-3 cups of shredded cheese over the beef layer.
Add Fresh Toppings: Evenly distribute ½ cup chopped tomatoes, ¼ cup sliced black olives, and 4 chopped green onions over the cheese.
Final Bake: Return the taco pizza to the oven for 3-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Slice and Serve: Let the taco pizza sit for a few minutes before cutting into squares or rectangles; serve hot.
Notes
Customize with vegetarian options, spicy additions, or different cheeses. Use whole wheat crescent rolls or homemade dough for a healthier crust.
