Ingredients

Taco Pizza

  • 1 thin crust pizza dough recipe
  • 1/2 cup prepared taco sauce
  • 1 cup prepared taco meat
  • 1 small tomato cubed
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup semi-crushed tortilla chips
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped lettuce

Ground Beef Taco Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbs taco seasoning

Taco Seasoning

  • 3 tbs paprika
  • 2 tbs chili powder
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 tbs garlic powder
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp chipoltle pepper ground optional

Instructions

  • The first step is to make your dough. My favorite super quick and easy thin crust dough is right here Thin Crust Pizza Dough.
  • Then using a rolling pin flatten the dough into a 12" round pizza crust. This will take some energy to do. I found that it is easier to do in between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Once the dough is flat, dock it with a fork or other pointed instrument. This will prevent it from forming huge blisters.
  • Place the dough onto a pizza peel and slide it into the oven. Blind bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes.
  • Once removed top with your favorite prepared taco sauce, taco meat, sliced red onions and taco chip bits.
  • Then top with cheddar cheese.
  • Place back into the oven and cook for another 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the toppings are hot.
  • Once the pizza is removed from the oven top with the diced tomatoes and lettuce. Cut and serve.
  • This was a great pizza!
