Taco Pizza- Two favorite classic recipes combined to make a new dinner idea that is sure to be a hit with adults and kids alike!
Recipe for Taco Pizza- two classics combined to make one delicious dinner idea!

If your family loves pizza and tacos, you should give this Taco Pizza recipe a try! I tried a similar recipe a few years ago, but it had refried beans, and my family didn’t love it.

So I totally changed it up, and came up with my own recipe for Taco Pizza. This time around it was a huge hit! The handheld ease of pizza with the yummy favors of a taco is of course going to be a hit with kids. But my husband and I loved it too! If you’re stuck in a rut serving the same kid friendly meals every week,  shake things up a little and give this recipe a try!

I served it with shredded lettuce, extra tomatoes, extra olives,  and some sour cream.  I loved the combination of the hot pizza and the cool toppings. So good!

This Taco Pizza was a huge hit for dinner at my house! It's a fun way to serve two classics.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 48 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe for pizza crust
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 6 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 15oz can of black beans, drained

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced (divided)
  • 1 6 oz can black olives, sliced (divided)
