Taco or pizza for dinner? Why not choose both! This taco pizza is loaded with all the goodies like seasoned taco meat, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, peppers, refried beans, tomatoes and more! It is sure to be a family favorite. Ready in about 20 minutes, it makes for a really quick dinner that is out of the ordinary but super tasty.
In elementary school, I remember getting Mexican pizza for hot lunch and while it was only so-so, I always loved the idea of a taco-ish pizza. I added all of my favorite taco or nacho toppings on this pizza for a delicious dinner. I knew my kids would love it since they love both taco and pizza and I was definitely right.

We love making our own pizza at home because it is so delicious and easy! Dinner is usually ready in 20 minutes or less when we make pizza for dinner and it requires not too much hands-on time. My favorite crust is the Jus-Rol Round and Thin Pizza Crust (formerly Wewalka). We have been using this brand for years and love how it tastes. The crust bakes up perfectly crispy (but not too crispy) and it is always a hit in our home.
It comes with the baking paper attached and requires no rolling pin. Just unroll the crust in about 5 seconds and place on a baking sheet and bake. It makes cleanup super easy which is a bonus.
