This easy sheet pan taco pizza recipe combines the bold flavors of tacos with the crowd-pleasing appeal of pizza, all made on one sheet pan for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2–3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (optional, for drizzling or dolloping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease your sheet pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough to fit your sheet pan. Press it into the edges and corners, ensuring an even thickness. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and stir in taco seasoning with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the seasoning is absorbed.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of refried beans over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beans.
  6. Evenly distribute the cooked taco meat on top of the cheese layer.
  7. Add diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and black olives as desired.
  8. Top everything with the remaining cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and drizzle with sour cream, if desired.
  11. Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm.

Notes

[‘Pre-bake your pizza dough for 5 minutes to prevent a soggy crust.’, ‘Season your beef well with taco seasoning for the signature flavor.’, ‘Layer strategically to prevent toppings from sliding off.’, ‘Add tortilla chips just before serving for extra crunch.’, ‘Add cold toppings like sour cream and cilantro after baking for balance.’]
