Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ½ pound ground beef

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 clove garlic

  • cup water

  • ½ (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion

  • 2 cups salsa, or more to taste, divided (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 cup refried beans

  • 1 12-inch prepared pizza crust

  • 2 cups Mexican-style shredded four-cheese blend, divided

  • 2 cups shredded lettuce

  • 2 tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained

  • ¼ cup chopped green onion

  • 1 cup sour cream, or as desired (Optional)

Directions

  1. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until beef is completely browned; drain fat from the skillet.

  2. Stir water and taco seasoning mix into beef mixture, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pizza crust onto a baking sheet.

  4. Blend diced tomatoes, 1 cup salsa, and cilantro in a blender until smooth.

  5. Spread refried beans in an even layer on the prepared pizza crust, leaving a border of about 1/2-inch uncovered around the outside. Spread 1 cup diced tomato mixture over beans in an even layer; reserve the remaining sauce. Scatter ground beef mixture over sauce, then cover with 1 1/2 cups cheese.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and crust edges are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

  7. Top pizza with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and remaining cheese. Serve with the reserved sauce, sour cream, and remaining salsa.

Recipe Tip

For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on the oven rack.
