Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
2 cans Pillsbury crescent rolls
16 ounces refried beans
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
½ cup chopped tomatoes
¼ cup sliced black olives
4 green onions chopped
½-1 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Spray 9x13 baking pan or 12-inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Brown ground beef and drain. Add taco seasoning to the ground beef according to the package directions.
Unroll crescent rolls into rectangles. Place in ungreased 11 1/2 inch x 16 1/2 inch jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Press dough over the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides to form crust. Bake at 375 °F oven for 11 to 13 minutes or just until golden brown.
Microwave beans in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute. Carefully spread beans over warm crust creating a thin layer.
Top with cooked beef mixture, sprinkle with cheese followed by tomatoes, black olives and green onion. Return to oven for 3-6 more minutes until cheese is melted.
Top with shredded lettuce.
Serve with sour cream, guacamole and salsa on the side.

Notes

Keep leftover taco pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust may get a bit soggy as it sits, so this recipe is best when served fresh.
To reheat Taco Pizza: I try to scrape off the shredded lettuce before putting it in the oven or microwave. You can keep it on–it just might be soggy.
- Reheat in the oven, place the cold pizza slices on a baking sheet. Set the oven temperature to 275°F and warm the pizza for 25-30 minutes.
- Reheat in the microwave, place the cold pizza slices on a microwave-safe plate for 1 minute or until the pizza is warm. Just note that the crust will be a little softer and not as crispy.
Freeze. Wrap the baked, cooled pizza tightly with aluminum foil and store it in a freezer-safe container or Ziploc freezer bag for up to 2 months.
