Directions
1. Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for baking.
2. Shape the Dough:
On a greased baking sheet, roll out the pizza dough into a circular shape.
3. Cook Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
4. Season Meat:
Add the taco seasoning mix to the beef and stir well to incorporate the flavors.
5. Build the Pizza:
Spread the refried beans evenly across the dough, leaving a small edge around the crust. Top the beans with the seasoned beef, then sprinkle the shredded cheese over everything.
6. Add Toppings:
Distribute the diced tomatoes, black olives, and chopped green onions evenly on top.
7. Bake:
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese melts and bubbles.
8. Serve:
Remove the pizza and let it cool for a few minutes. Add dollops of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on top if you like. Cut into slices and enjoy while hot.
