The best thing about writing a food blog is that you get to taste new dishes and you get to post them online. I always try to make a pizza with different toppings to make my family happy and I have been successful in it too. This time I made a taco pizza and it turned out to be a huge success.
Maybe you are hosting a party and need a dish to serve many people or want to make a delicious dinner for the family. Whatever the reason may be, it’s a great idea to try out this delicious fusion dish. Here is a simple recipe that provides instructions on how to make taco pizza.

- Take out your baked crescent roll pizza crust and set it aside for 4-5 minutes to cool.

- Tips & Tricks
- You can make taco pizza in advance, but it is suggested to add tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- If you want some extra protein to your pizza, add some drained black beans to the meat.
- The best thing about this pizza is that you can add any topping you prefer with tacos. You can consider avocado, chopped onions, black olives, black beans, refried beans, Doritos, Fritos, hot sauce, enchilada sauce as extra toppings.
- You can store leftover taco pizza for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- If you want to make a gluten-free taco pizza, simply find gluten-free crescent rolls in the grocery store. The remaining ingredients will remain the same.
