Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Let your pizza dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef for about 5–7 minutes, then stir in taco seasoning.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for a perfect crispy crust.
  4. Form the Crust: Roll the dough into a 12 to 16-inch round and pre-bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the refried beans and salsa on the crust, layer with beef, cheese, and olives.
  6. Bake Again: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Top with diced tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream before serving.
