Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls

Cheese Spread

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp jarred salsa

Taco Meat Filling

  • 1 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning

Toppings

  • 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 and press the two tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls onto a large baking sheet, stretching and pressing the seams together to create one solid crust.
  2. Mix the cheese spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and jarred salsa. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Cook the taco beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning following the package directions (usually adding water and simmering until thickened).
  4. Assemble the pizza: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust. Then evenly distribute the cooked taco beef over the spread. Sprinkle diced roma tomatoes and shredded cheddar jack cheese on top.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Add fresh toppings: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the shredded lettuce over the top for a fresh crunch before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a leaner option.
  • Use fresh salsa instead of jarred for more vibrant flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier pizza, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the toppings.
  • Serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side for extra creaminess.
  • Make sure to press the crescent roll seams completely to avoid gaps while baking.
