Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1.25 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
1 cup ground beef
1 (14 ounce) package prepared pizza dough, or as needed
½ cup pizza sauce
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch salt
1 ¼ cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle taco seasoning on ground beef. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Divide pizza dough in half and flatten each half into a thin crust over a nonstick baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove but leave oven on.
  • Mix pizza sauce, cumin, and salt together in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the mixture over each pizza crust. Sprinkle beef and Cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  • Bake until crusts are crunchy and cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think next time I will add some more spices to the sauce. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm not a great cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I used ground beef instead of chicken and it turned out great. I also added some chopped tomatoes and corn to the sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this recipe for a party and it was a hit. Everyone loved it. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it turned out great. I also doubled the sauce recipe because I wanted to have extra. I will definitely be making this again.
