How to cook deliciously - Taco Pizza

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 500°F: Remove the pizza dough from the fridge.

2. Stage

Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Using a wooden spoon, crumble and cook until no longer pink, about 4-6 minutes. If the beef is very greasy, spoon off a little of the grease and discard. Add the taco seasoning and water to the ground beef and stir to combine. Simmer until most of the water has evaporated but the beef is still somewhat saucy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Stage

Make the bean topping: Combine the refried beans and salsa together in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. Set aside.

4. Stage

Shape the dough: Lightly oil a baking sheet or 12-inch pizza pans. Shape one of the balls of dough into a 12-inch circle on a clean, lightly floured or oiled surface. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan.

5. Stage

Add the toppings: Spread half of the refried bean mixture over the bottom of the dough (an offset metal spatula works best), leaving a 1/2 to 1/4-inch border around the pizza crust. Top with half of the ground beef, cheese, and black olives.

6. Stage

Bake the pizza: Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the pizza crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

7. Stage

Prepare the next pizza: While the first pizza bakes, prepare the next pizza.

8. Stage

Cool briefly and serve: Remove the cooked pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Pop the second pizza in the oven. Top the slightly cooled baked pizza with half of the salsa, jalapeño slices, and sliced scallions. Then add half of the shredded lettuce. Place a dollop of the sour cream in the center. Slice and serve with additional salsa, lettuce, and sour cream. This pizza is best enjoyed shortly after it’s baked, but you can refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days (you may want to remove any lettuce, as it will brown and wilt).
