Description
A delicious taco-inspired pizza that combines seasoned ground beef and cheese wrapped in a flaky pizza dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
- 1/3 cup salsa
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 2 Tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- In a large skillet brown ground beef and onion together, breaking up the ground beef. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until the onions are soft and the meat is cooked through. Drain any grease away if necessary.
- Add taco seasoning, salsa, and water and mix until well combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes for everything to come together and thicken. Remove from the heat.
- Onto a sheet of parchment paper, roll pizza dough into a 10×15 inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut 3-inch strips about every 1 ½ inches along both long sides of the rectangle.
- Place the parchment paper onto a large baking sheet. Scoop the ground beef mixture into the center of the pizza dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese evenly over the top.
- Beginning at the top, fold one strip over the top of the meat, then fold the top strip on the opposite side over the top. Repeat wrapping the strips until you get to the end, tucking them under the end to secure them.
- Brush the crust evenly with the melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the crust is cooked through.
- Remove from oven, slice and serve with your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
- This dish can be served with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or diced tomatoes.
