Mexican Fiestada for School Lunch Recipe

Cook Time: 20 minutes

This delicious taco pizza combines the flavors of tacos and pizza in one dish. It's quick to make, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (14 ounce) package prepared pizza dough, or as needed
  • cup pizza sauce
  • teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450F (230C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook and stir until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard the grease.
  3. Divide the pizza dough in half. Flatten each half into a thin crust and place them onto a nonstick baking sheet.
  4. Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 3 minutes.
  5. While the crusts are baking, mix the pizza sauce, cumin, and salt together in a bowl.
  6. Once the crusts are out of the oven, spread half of the sauce mixture over each crust.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the cooked beef and shredded Cheddar cheese over the crusts.
  8. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crusts are crispy.
