Bring your Friday pizza game up a few levels with this homemade Taco Pizza that is not only super tasty but packed with beans and veggies! Yes, I top the whole pizza with Doritos (because WHY NOT), but that is optional.

Taco Pizza | Taco Tuesday and Pizza Friday Unite!

I am in love with this Taco Pizza and I don’t care who knows it! While I have been making this version of pizza for a while, it’s lived on my site for a long time!

To make this (or any other pizza) I used my Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe, threw on some taco toppings {basically, everything Mexican-ish taken from my fridge} and baked it up. I added lots of fresh veggies overtop to give it that Taco Salad feel and served. I love fresh and cold ingredients on top of a piping hot pizza!! And Doritos. That was a little unexpected twist that I now am head over heels for. Who knew Doritos on a pizza would be so amazing? Um, I did. Obviously.

Anyways, this is our new favorite pizza and have a feeling it might be yours too 🙂

Main Ingredients Needed

Just a few ingredients are needed to start this Taco Pizza! Use what you have on hand and it’ll be just as tasty.

• Pizza Dough – buy store-bought or make pizza dough yourself (try my Whole Wheat Pizza Dough for a healthier option)!
• Mild Southwest Salsa – this is what I used but if you have a favorite salsa, use that!
• Mozzarella + Cheddar Cheese – both are used for creaminess and flavor.
• Black Beans – these are full of fiber and super yummy! Feel free to replace it with pinto beans if you like those better.
• Taco Meat – I use turkey taco meat but you can replace ground turkey with ground beef. I also have a great chicken taco meat recipe too.

Popular Taco Pizza Toppings

Next comes all of the toppings! Two I would say are non-negotiable, but everything else is optional 🙂

• Doritos: Nacho Cheese Doritos to be exact. These complete the taco experience and bring such a yummy crunch to the whole thing.
• Bolthouse Cilantro Avocado Dressing: I LOVE this dressing. It’s light, creamy, and perfectly complements the pizza.
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Cilantro
• Avocado
• Lime Juice
• Sour Cream
