Taco Pizza Recipe

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!

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!
