Ingredients:
- ½ lb. ground beef
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ 1 oz. packet taco seasoning mix
- 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
- 2 cups salsa, or more to taste, divided
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup refried beans
- 12-inch prepared pizza crust
- 2 cups Mexican-style shredded four-cheese blend, divided
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 can sliced black olives, drained
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
- 1 cup sour cream
Directions:
- Cook and stir ground beef, onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until beef is completely browned; drain fat from the skillet.
- Stir water and taco seasoning mix into beef mixture and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 F. Place pizza crust onto a baking sheet.
- Blend diced tomatoes, 1 cup salsa and cilantro in a blender until smooth.
- Spread refried beans in an even layer on the prepared pizza crust, leaving a border of about 1/2-inch uncovered around the outside. Spread 1 cup diced tomato mixture over beans in an even layer; reserve the remaining sauce. Scatter ground beef mixture over sauce and then cover with 1 1/2 cups cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and crust edges are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Top pizza with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, black olives, green onions and remaining cheese.
- Serve with the reserved sauce, sour cream and remaining salsa.
