With its crispy crust, zesty taco sauce, and a medley of toppings, this recipe is sure to be a hit at your next gathering or a fun family dinner. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating this irresistible Taco Pizza!
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or pizza dough
- 1/2 cup taco sauce
- 1 cup cooked ground beef or chicken
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced red onions
- 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Sour cream, guacamole, or salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza crust packaging. This will ensure a perfectly cooked crust.
- Prepare the toppings: In a skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken until browned. Drain any excess fat and set it aside. Chop the tomatoes, black olives, red onions, green bell peppers, and jalapenos (if using). Prepare your toppings for easy assembly.
- Roll out the dough: If using pre-made pizza dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If you’re using a pre-made crust, skip this step and move on to the next.
- Assemble the pizza: Place the rolled-out dough or pre-made crust onto a greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread the taco sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. The sauce will act as the base for your Taco Pizza.
- Add the toppings: Sprinkle the cooked ground beef or chicken over the sauce, followed by the shredded Mexican blend cheese. Next, evenly distribute the diced tomatoes, black olives, red onions, green bell peppers, and sliced jalapenos (if desired). Be creative with your choice of toppings!
- Bake to perfection: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the pizza crust packaging or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh burst of flavor. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve it hot with optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Taco Pizza is a fabulous combination of two beloved cuisines that will satisfy your cravings for both tacos and pizza. With its crispy crust, tangy taco sauce, and a delightful assortment of toppings, this recipe is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. So, gather your ingredients, get creative with your toppings, and enjoy a delicious Taco Pizza that brings the best of both worlds to your plate!

(Family Features) Whether you’re lounging by the pool or hitting the trails for a family hike or bike ride, exposure to summer heat can leave you feeling dehydrated and fatigued.
Comprised of nearly 90% water and delivering essential electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, 100% orange juice can serve as a healthy complement to your hydration routine. These electrolytes are crucial in helping to maintain fluid balance and muscle function regardless of the time of year, but they’re especially important during the warmer summer months when you are exerting more.
Consider these unexpected ways Florida Orange Juice can help power your summer.
Support Immunity
100% orange juice isn’t just a tasty drink; it’s also packed with essential nutrients that support your immune system. An 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, plus it provides key nutrients such as folate, potassium and thiamin, as well as vitamin D and calcium (in fortified juices), that help support the immune system all year long.
Add Healthy Flavor to Meals
Fat-free, cholesterol-free and sodium-free with no added sugar, 100% orange juice is a healthy addition to any diet, adding a burst of flavor to favorite dishes. Consider using Florida Orange Juice as part of the marinade in these Orange Juice Citrus Chicken Kebabs or as a base for salad dressings to create a perfect balance that will delight your taste buds.
Electrolyte and Hydration Support
With many kids participating in summer sports and other outdoor demands on families during the warmer months, it can be difficult to provide your family with healthy, hydrating beverages. However, an option like this On-the-Go Orange Juice Sports Drink helps to replenish carbohydrates and electrolytes during and after physical activity, such as running, biking, exercising or playing sports.
