Ingredients
  

Pizza Base
  • 1 large prepared pizza crust Use hot crust for crisp edges.
Meat Layer
  • 1 lb ground beef Brown until no pink remains.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Add a splash of water when seasoning.
Bean Layer
  • 1 can refried beans Warm to spread easily.
Toppings
  • 1/3 cup pico de gallo or salsa Fresh pico brightens every bite.
  • 1 ½ cups shredded taco or Mexican blend cheese Cheese melts evenly.
  • shredded lettuce For topping.
  • chopped tomatoes For topping.
  • chopped green onions For topping.
  • sour cream For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat the crust if directed on the package.
  2. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains.
  3. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water to the beef, stir, and simmer until thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Warm the refried beans so they spread easily.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Spread the refried beans over the crust.
  2. Spoon on the seasoned beef, scatter pico, and top with cheese.
  3. Bake the pizza until cheese bubbles and edges turn golden, about 10–12 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and add shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, green onions, and dollops of sour cream.
  5. Slice and serve while still warm.

Notes

Use a thin layer of beans and a spoonful of salsa to avoid soggy crust. Leftover pizza can be turned into a quick lunch wrap. Brown beef ahead of time for easy assembly.
