Instructions
Creating your Easy Sheet Pan Taco Pizza can be a fun and straightforward experience if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and fragrant.
4. Prepare the Dough: On a parchment-lined sheet pan, stretch out the pizza dough to cover the entire pan evenly.
5. Spread Pizza Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the top of the dough.
6. Add the Meat: Distribute the seasoned ground beef over the sauce, making sure it’s even.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the meat layer.
8. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
9. Add Fresh Toppings: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and add diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced jalapeños, and red onion.
10. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before slicing into squares.
