Taco Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 can crescent dough sheets (or 1 tube of crescent rolls, pressed into a rectangle)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade taco spice mix)
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar)
  • 1½ cups shredded lettuce
  • Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, green onions, jalapeños, salsa, or hot sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  2. Bake the crust: Unroll the crescent dough onto the sheet and press it into a rectangle (about 9×13 inches), sealing any seams. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the creamy base: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Spread this evenly over the cooled crust.
  5. Assemble the pizza: Evenly layer the taco-seasoned beef over the cream cheese base. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then top with shredded lettuce and any optional toppings you like.
  6. Chill or serve: You can serve this immediately, or chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes if you prefer it cold and firm.
  7. Slice and enjoy: Cut into squares and dig in—it’s zesty, creamy, cheesy, and totally addictive!
