Taco pizza recipe
Pizza is always a popular dinner choice around here but I wanted something different. We love Mexican food so I thought it seemed like a great idea to make a Taco Pizza. What could be better than a slice of pizza with all of your favorites that you normally find on a taco?
Even better, the pizza uses a ready made crust so it is SO easy! You can put this together faster than going to get pizza take out. Not only will you save time but also money with this tasty dinner.
If you love this pizza, then you will love this Taco Bell Mexican Pizza or if you love tacos, make Taco Dorados.
Taco pizza ingredients:
- Precooked Pizza Crust (12-16 inches) – or Homemade Pizza Dough
- Taco Seasoning (Learn how to make homemade taco seasoning.)
- Water
- Refried Beans (15 oz) (Try our homemade refried beans. )
- Salsa
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Tomato, Diced
- Green Onions, Sliced
- Black Olives, Sliced
How to make taco pizza quickly:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain the excess grease from the pan.
Next, stir in the taco seasoning and water. Allow to simmer for 4-6 until the water is cooked off and flavors are combined.
Combine the salsa and refried beans together in a microwave safe bowl. Then heat them up slightly so they’re easier to spread.
Then assemble the pizza.
Place the premade crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Spread a layer of the refried beans mixture onto the crust. Top with the ground beef and cheese.
Bake for approximately 5 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Remove the oven and top with the sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions and black olives.
Slice and enjoy!
Taco pizza is that easy!
It takes just minutes to make this taco pizza recipe. We love using a store bought pizza crust because it is so quick. You can make this in hardly any time at all even on busy weeknights.
If you prefer to use a homemade pizza dough, you can definitely do that. Just do what works best for your family.
It is a great recipe and the taco meat and beef mixture taste amazing with taco sauce, cheese and more! Your family will love this meal that is so simple to make.
What to serve with taco pizza?
Keep it simple and just serve with a side salad. We do this a lot and it is something nice and light to pair with the pizza.
You can also try this easy Spanish rice or this delicious cilantro lime rice. You can make the rice in just minutes for a great side dish.
Plus, you can double the recipe and keep some in the freezer. We do this all of the time for quick meals and it is so nice during busy weekdays.
I love freezing rice so that I always can prepare a quick and easy side dish in no time at all. Another easy side dish is our homemade refried beans.
Have you made your own Taco Seasoning yet?
I’m also using my favorite Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix to make this Mexican pizza.
If you don’t have any homemade, you can use ½ taco seasoning package, but I would like to challenge you to make your own taco seasoning.
It tastes great and it hardly any work. I bet you already have everything to make it! You won’t go back to the packets once you make your own!
I love knowing exactly what is in the seasonings I am cooking with. Plus, it saves money!
More ideas for easy taco pizza:
You can even substitute ground turkey. This meal is so easy and delicious for a great dinner idea. You can even mix ground turkey and ground beef together.
Add black beans to the beef mixture if you want to stretch your meat budget. It will still taste amazing.
You are going to love having this on your regular menu plan rotation. Save money by using what you already have in your freezer or can get on sale at the grocery store.
It’s also great if you are trying to save money on groceries which is a must at our house! This is definitely a recipe that is budget friendly, doesn’t take a lot of time to make and everyone enjoys.

Very good recipe. So easy to make.i made it tonight and it was a hit with the whole family.
Thanks for sharing!
We really liked this. Next time I make it though, I will look for a smaller can of retried beans. I thought 15 oz of beans was a little thick for me.
It’s a good recipe. Definitely one we will use again
OMG, this is awesome. I will try that this weekend with one small change. I have a bunch of smoked pulled pork in the freezer. Time to put it to use.
