Crescent Roll Taco Pizza Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients; quantities are listed in the recipe section below.

• Cream cheese
• Sour cream
• Ground turkey or beef
• Taco seasoning packet
• Tomatoes
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella cheese

How to Make Taco Pizza

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with non-stick spray.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared sheet and press seams gently to seal. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let the crust cool completely.
3. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until mostly smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
4. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you make the meat.
5. Brown the ground meat in a skillet and stir in the taco seasoning, following the packet instructions. Drain any excess liquid.
6. Remove the crust from the fridge and spread the seasoned meat across the top. You may have extra meat for other uses.
7. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and sliced olives. Slice into squares and serve cold.

Can I Make This Ahead?

Because the crust can become soggy, taco pizza is best served soon after assembling. You can prepare components in advance (bake the crust, mix the cream layer, cook and season the meat) and assemble shortly before serving.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, avoid storing assembled pizza for longer periods.
