Beef & Bean Taco Pizza

Taco night and Pizza Night just got that much better. This delicious homemade pizza recipe doesn’t just have to be for #TacoTuesday OR #PizzaNight because it’s going to be a awesome any night of the week. You are gonna be shocked by how taste this is when you realize how easy it is to make. Beef & Bean Taco Pizza is going to be one of the repeats in your menu planning, for sure.

I have included my recipe for Thin Crust Pizza Dough below the Beef & Bean Taco Pizza recipe. If you have a preference for a thicker pizza dough or don’t want to make your own dough – no problem at all. Whatever recipe or product you are planning to use – just prepare it to “parcooked” stage. If you are using a precooked pizza dough, I would suggest cooking the pizza little longer than 12 minutes – just make sure it’s hot all the way through.

I like to make these rectangular pizzas – just because its a little easier to roll out a rectangle than it is to do a circle. That’s totally just a personal preference thing. If you have round pizza pans, then this recipe will work just fine for you. Even though it’s a rectangle I still like to cut triangle pieces (lots of people do smaller rectangles). I just cut the pizza in half, then quarters than eighths – just a like a round pizza. I prefer a pizza wheel for cutting, but rocker blades are cool too.

I didn’t include it in the recipe, but I would suggest using your favorite taco sauce with this pizza. You could also add in some sour cream – or any of the other taco toppings you really like. Some people like to put a layer of shredded lettuce on top to get the full taco effect. I, personally, don’t like the way it wilts – so I skip that one. If you wanted to swap out the ground beef for ground chicken or turkey – it would totally still be yummy.

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
