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
- Preheat the oven to 450F (230C).
- 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.
- Divide the pizza dough in half. Flatten each half into a thin crust and place them onto a nonstick baking sheet.
- Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 3 minutes.
- While the crusts are baking, mix the pizza sauce, cumin, and salt together in a bowl.
- Once the crusts are out of the oven, spread half of the sauce mixture over each crust.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked beef and shredded Cheddar cheese over the crusts.
- 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.
