Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until no longer pink; drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out your pizza dough onto a pizza stone or lined baking sheet. Pre-bake the crust for about 5 minutes.
  3. Spread a layer of refried beans over the pizza crust, drizzle with salsa, and distribute the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheeses on top.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
  5. After cooling for 5 minutes, add toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and sour cream.
