Taco Pizza
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup refried beans room temp is fine
- Unrefined olive oil for greasing pan
- 1 pound pizza dough at room temperature*
- Cheese or skip if the queso is enough - just eyeball the amount
- Other options:
- Cooked ground meat or plant meat alternative or skip since the beans are enough seasoned with 1 ½ teaspoons prepared taco seasoning or check out my taco seasoning recipe
- shredded lettuce
- Avocado guacamole or avocado crema
- Vegan cheese sauce/queso
- Cilantro
- Tomatoes if in season
- Scallions or pickled onions there's a great recipe in Kitchen Matters for quick pickled onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine salsa and refried beans (by combining them, the crust won’t get soggy if using the salsa separately.)
- Lightly grease a quarter sheet pan with oil. Roll the dough to fit and then stretch it to reach all four corners.
- Spread the salsa-bean mixture on top of the crust, spreading it evenly. Top with shredded cheese, if using. Bake pizza for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is crispy and golden brown.
- Top with cooked taco meat or meat alternative. Drizzle with vegan queso if using.
- Then top with raw ingredients like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and or scallions/pickled onions.
- Drizzle the top of the whole thing with sour cream or avocado crema or dollops of guacamole or chopped avocado. Serve immediately.
Notes
*You can even use a frozen crust like Banza gluten-free chickpea flour pizza crusts. Just follow the package directions.
You can use a half sheet pan if using a 1 pound 6 ounce pizza dough.
