Make this fun, family-friendly Taco Pizza using a flaky crescent roll crust. It combines seasoned beef, cheese, and your favorite taco toppings for a quick weeknight dinner or game day meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a 12-inch circle or rectangle on an ungreased baking sheet. Pinch the seams together to form a solid crust. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  2. While the crust bakes, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir the taco seasoning mix and water into the cooked ground beef. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Once the crust is baked, spread the warmed refried beans evenly over the surface.
  5. Spoon the seasoned taco meat over the beans. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat layer.
  6. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven. Top immediately with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve with a dollop of sour cream on each piece.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the crescent dough for 12 minutes, then brush lightly with melted butter before adding toppings.
  • Use your favorite taco toppings; common additions include sliced jalapeños, chopped onions, or crushed tortilla chips sprinkled on top after baking.
  • This recipe works well as a Sheet Pan Taco Pizza if you use a large rectangular crust base.
