Equipment
- pizza oven or pizza stone for conventional oven
- Pizza Peel
- pizza cutter or knife
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust homemade or store-bought
- 2-3 ounces taco meat
- ¼ cup enchilada sauce
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons queso fresco
- ½ small tomato, diced
- 50 grams black beans, rinsed (about ¼ cup)
- 2 tablespoons black olives, sliced
Optional Toppings After Baking
- fresh cilantro
- green onions, sliced (green parts only)
- sour cream
- avocado or guacamole
- sliced jalapeno
Instructions
- Make the pizza dough ahead of time if you are using homemade dough.
- Cook and season the ground beef if you are making it from scratch. If you are using store-bought, remove it from the fridge so it can start to warm up. Note: this recipe is perfect for leftover taco meat!
- Once you are ready to make your pizza, remove the dough from the fridge and ensure it is at room temperature before forming your pizza. If you are baking your pizza in a regular oven, preheat the oven to 500° F (260° C) with the pizza stone inside. If you are using a pizza oven, preheat it while prepping the pizza.
- Hand press or roll out the pizza dough into a 12" round.
- Spread out the enchilada sauce on the pizza crust in an even layer.
- Add the rest of the ingredients starting with the mozzarella cheese followed by the taco meat, beans, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, queso fresco, and olives.
- Bake the pizza in a pizza oven or regular oven until fully cooked and the crust has browned. This takes about 90 seconds in a pizza oven or 13-15 minutes in a regular oven.
- After baking, add any additional toppings like fresh cilantro, green onions, and fresh jalapeno slices. Serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side and enjoy!

Notes
- Fresh, high-quality ingredients always make the best pizzas. If you want your homemade pizza to taste like your favorite restaurant, use the best ingredients.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat the pizza in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Add your favorite toppings for a fresh element and enjoy!
- Control the sauce - too much sauce will give you a soggy pizza. Create a nice thin layer of enchilada sauce for the best results.
- Control the amount of toppings as well. Too many heavy toppings will also result in a soggy pizza that doesn't fully cook through without burning.
- Serve with sides - get the ultimate taco experience by serving this pizza with sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce, or your favorite taco topping.
