Yes, you read that correctly.
Taco.
Pizza.
And yes, it is everything you’ve ever wanted in your entire life. All the best things we love about tacos on top of a beautiful pizza crust. Could there really be anything better?
It’s really quite simple, especially if you use a premade pizza crust. You’ll start by spreading some refried beans over the raw pizza dough to serve as your pizza sauce. Then sprinkle on the taco meat and lots of cheese and bake. Then top with any number of desired toppings – lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole or sliced avocado, chives, olives, bell peppers, green chilis, queso, more cheese… you name it! Round, square, triangle… the shape doesn’t matter, but trust me o trust me the taste does.
