Combine taco night and pizza night into one satisfying meal using this easy sheet pan recipe. You can use a store-bought pizza crust or quick crescent roll dough for a flaky base, making this a perfect weeknight dinner or game day food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, for topping
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, for topping
  • 1/4 cup salsa, for topping
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 15×10 inch baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the dough together to form a single, even rectangle crust. Bake the crust for 8 minutes until lightly set.
  3. While the crust bakes, prepare the meat. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir the taco seasoning mix and water into the cooked ground beef. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread the warmed refried beans evenly over the crust.
  6. Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture over the beans. Sprinkle the shredded cheese blend evenly over the meat layer.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown.
  8. Remove the taco pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Top the pizza with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, and dollops of sour cream just before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier, Taco Bell copycat style, use two large, thin, pre-baked flour tortillas instead of crescent roll dough. Layer the ingredients between the two tortillas and bake briefly just to melt the cheese.
  • If you prefer a sheet pan method without crescent rolls, use a large, thin pizza crust or press pizza dough thinly onto the pan.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or shredded cooked chicken for the ground beef.
