Ingredients

- Taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade) – 2 tablespoons (or according to package instructions)
- Salsa – 1/2 cup (120g) (adjust based on desired heat level)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese – 1 cup (100g)
- Shredded cheddar cheese – 1 cup (100g)
- Lettuce – 1 1/2 cups (about 75g), shredded

- Sour cream (optional, for serving) – 1/4 cup (60g)
- Jalapeños (optional, for some heat) – 1-2, sliced (adjust to preference)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pizza Dough:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out store-bought or homemade pizza dough onto a sheet pan. - Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning with a little water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. - Assemble the Pizza:
Spread salsa on the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with seasoned ground beef, then sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the beef. - Bake the Pizza:
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. - Add Fresh Toppings:
After baking, cool for a couple of minutes and add fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, and other toppings such as jalapeños or sour cream. Slice and serve.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a pizza stone.
- Make it vegetarian by swapping ground beef for black beans or veggie substitutes.
- Add crushed tortilla chips on top for added crunch.
