Equipment

  • skillet
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • Boboli Pizza Crust
  • ½ cup Classic Pizza Sauce
  • ½ cup Spicy Taco Salsa
  • ½ cup Refried Black Beans
  • 1 pound Ground Beef seasoned
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack
  • 1 cup Shredded Romaine Lettuce
  • ½ cup Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Taco-Flavored Tortilla Chips crumbled
  • ¼ cup Sliced Black Olives
  • ¼ cup Sliced Jalapeños

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

  • First things first – preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). While the oven heats up, prepare the ground beef. Brown it in a skillet over medium heat, then drain the fat. Add in the taco seasoning mix and water as per the packet’s instructions. Cook until well combined and set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Base

  • Lay out your Boboli Pizza Crust on a baking sheet. Spread the classic pizza sauce evenly across the surface, followed by the spicy taco salsa. Together, these will form the flavor-packed base of your pizza.

Step 3: Layer the Meat and Beans

  • Next, spread the refried black beans over the sauced-up crust. Ensure it’s evenly distributed. Now, add the seasoned ground beef on top of the beans.

Step 4: Cheese It Up

  • Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese over the meat layer.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  • Pop your pizza into the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 6: Final Toppings

  • Remove the pizza from the oven. It’s time for the fresh toppings! Spread shredded romaine lettuce evenly, followed by diced tomatoes, crumbled taco-flavored tortilla chips, black olives, and jalapeños.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice it up, serve, and get ready for compliments (or just bask in your own culinary skills).

Notes

  • Customize Your Spice Level: If you like it hot, add extra jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce on top.
  • Make It Vegetarian: Swap out the ground beef for seasoned black beans or a meat substitute.
  • Don’t Overload: Less is more when it comes to toppings. Too many can make the pizza soggy.
  • Crispier Crust Tip: For a crispier crust, brush the edges with olive oil before baking.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lettuce and tomatoes make a huge difference in adding crunch and flavor.
