Ingredients

Scale

Crust and Base

  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp jarred salsa

Toppings

  • 1 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 3 to 4 diced roma tomatoes
  • 4 to 5 oz shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • 1/2 oz bag shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll both tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls and press them together onto a greased pizza pan or baking sheet, forming a large circle or rectangle to create the pizza crust. Make sure to pinch the seams so they stay together during baking.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Base: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and jarred salsa. Mix until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust, covering it completely to create a flavorful base layer.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning along with a little water as per the seasoning packet instructions. Cook until the seasoning is well incorporated and the meat is flavorful. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cooked taco-seasoned ground beef evenly over the cream cheese base. Sprinkle diced roma tomatoes and shredded cheddar jack cheese generously on top.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Add Fresh Lettuce and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded lettuce over the top for a fresh, crunchy contrast. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Use your favorite salsa variety, such as mild, medium, or hot, to adjust the spice level.
  • For added crunch, top with sliced black olives or jalapeños before baking.
  • Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crust crispness.
