Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Taco Pizza is a breeze! First, I preheat my oven according to the instructions on the pizza crust packaging—usually around 425°F (220°C). While that warms up, I brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once thoroughly cooked, I drain any excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning along with a bit of water, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes to really soak in those flavors. This is where my kitchen starts to smell like a fiesta! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
