Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 cup queso quesadilla
  • 1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
  • chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Brush the olive oil in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add the pizza dough and cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. About halfway through the browning process, add the onion. Cook until the beef is brown and the onion is soft.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until most of the moisture has cooked down and the beef mixture is seasoned. Mix the refried beans and salsa in a medium bowl.
  • Pat out the pizza dough on a pizza stone and dock the pizza with a fork. Prebake for 7-8 minutes.
  • Spread the refried bean mixture over the prebaked crust. Top with the seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, queso quesadilla cheese, black olives, green onions, and tomatoes.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is browned on the edges. Sprinkle the pizza with chopped cilantro. Let the pizza cool for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 375 degrees on a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone for 8-12 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if the pizza is browning more than your liking.
