Ingredients

8 ounces of ground beef – This serves as the flavorful protein base, absorbing the spices for a rich, meaty topping.

1 (1.25-ounce) package of dry taco seasoning mix – Adds a bold, Tex-Mex-inspired spice blend, enhancing the beef with warmth and depth.

1 (14-ounce) package of prepared pizza dough – A convenient foundation, providing a crispy yet slightly chewy crust.

½ cup of pizza sauce – A tangy tomato base infused with spices, balancing the richness of the toppings.

¼ teaspoon of ground cumin – Intensifies the smoky, earthy flavor, complementing the taco seasoning.

1 pinch of salt – A small but essential ingredient to enhance all the flavors.

1 ¼ cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese – Melts beautifully over the pizza, adding a creamy and slightly tangy finish

Instructions

1- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure a properly heated surface for a crisp crust.

2- Cook the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, adding taco seasoning. Stir occasionally until the meat is browned and crumbly (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.

3- Prepare the crust by dividing the pizza dough in half. Flatten each portion into a thin round and place on a nonstick baking sheet.

4- Pre-bake the dough for 3 minutes to firm up the base before adding toppings.

5- Mix the sauce by combining pizza sauce, cumin, and salt in a bowl for extra flavor.

6- Assemble the pizza by spreading half of the sauce over each crust, then evenly distributing the cooked beef and shredded cheddar on top.

7- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust turns golden and crisp.
