This Super Easy Taco Pizza has all the flavors you love in a taco, but turned into a family favorite pizza!
This Super Easy Taco Pizza has been a long time family favorite. My kids constantly ask for this delicious creation and I’m happy to oblige.
I might be a pizza snob. In fact, we just ordered a pizza oven for our backyard and I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can make pizza all the time. We love this Cheeseburger Pizza, Pretzel Pizza and this Buffalo Ranch Chicken Pizza, but this Cheesy Taco Pizza is probably the most frequented in our house.

How To Par-Bake Pizza Dough
I popped the dough into the oven for a few minutes to par-bake the dough.
“Par-baking” means to bake it partially.
This method allows the crust of the pizza to cook fully without burning or scorching any toppings.
Since the taco pizza toppings don’t really need anything more than being heated and cheese melted, it’s best to do the par-baking of the crust for this recipe.
The warm and creamy beans topped with seasoned taco meat and melty cheese make this Taco Pizza recipe an absolute dream. It’s like Mexican food meets Italian food in all the right ways.
Taco Pizza Tips and Variations
You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy this recipe is. Here are some of my top tips and variations to ensure you have the best results.
- Make sure to par-bake the crust as instructed so your ingredients don’t get overcooked and dried out.
- Warm the beans before adding them to the pizza dough.
- Use a sheet of parchment paper under the pizza dough for easy removal.
- For the best results- shred your own cheese! Pre-shredded cheese tends to not have a nice melted texture.
- Don’t overload your pizza with toppings, it’ll make it difficult to pick up and eat.

Where do the onions go?
They’re cooked with the taco meat (step 2).
Another awesome and easy recipe! Great idea to add Fritos! I used the Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust and just shaped it to the round pizza pan. Cooked it just the way you said and it came out nice and crispy. Will definitely make it again.
Fantastic! So glad you enjoyed it!
Its a great recipe!. Only thing I do different is add diced bell peppers of all colors and top with green onions. Love the dang Fritos for that extra crunch.
Its also great for tossing in a deep freeze for another night minus the lettuce of course. you can add that later.
Cannot find this pizza dough anywhere. Even Pillsbury couldn’t tell me where it is sold. Where are you purchasing it?
I found mine at Kroger stores, but it could be that they’re not producing the pizza dough anymore. If that’s the case, you can definitely use their tube pizza dough or I have a great recipe for pizza dough here.
Delicious and easy to make!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t wait to try the new pizza dough!! We absolutely love Pillsbury Pie Crust, so hopefully the new product will be the same great quality.
Sounds good and easy! I’ll try it!
