Instructions

Preheat and prepare crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (or follow the instructions on your dough package). Roll the refrigerated dough onto a greased or parchment-lined sheet pan, pressing it evenly to the edges. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
Cook taco meat: While the crust bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until well combined and flavorful.
Assemble pizza: If desired, spread refried beans or salsa evenly over the baked crust as a base layer. Next, spread the prepared taco meat on top, then sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
Melt cheese: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Add fresh toppings: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or green onions if using.
Serve: Slice the pizza into pieces and serve immediately for a delicious and casual meal.

Notes

You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.
Refried beans or salsa are optional but add extra flavor and a moist texture.
Use your favorite shredded cheese blend to customize the flavor.
For added heat, consider adding jalapeño slices or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
