Taco Pizza Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Taco Pizza Delight.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious homemade pizza using your bread machine, start by adding warm water, salt, vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, and active dry yeast to the machine in that specific order.

2. Step 2

   Select the dough cycle and let the magic begin! After a few minutes of mixing, take a peek at your dough.

3. Step 3

   If it seems a bit dry, don’t worry—just add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough becomes soft and pliable, but not sticky.

4. Step 4

   While your dough is coming together, let’s whip up a flavorful sauce.

5. Step 5

   In a small bowl, mix together tomato paste, 3/4 cup of water, and 3/4 of the taco seasoning.

6. Step 6

   For an extra kick, stir in some chili powder and cayenne pepper, then set this zesty sauce aside.

7. Step 7

   Next, grab another bowl and combine refried beans, salsa, and chopped onion.

8. Step 8

   This tasty mixture will add a wonderful layer to your pizza, so set it aside as well.

9. Step 9

   Now, let’s get to the heart of the dish! In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until it’s beautifully browned.

10. Step 10

    Drain any excess fat, then sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 package of taco seasoning along with a splash of water.

11. Step 11

    Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, letting those flavors meld together before removing it from the heat.

12. Step 12

    Preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready for your creations.

13. Step 13

    Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough from the machine and divide it in half.

14. Step 14

    Pat each half into two 12-inch pizza pans, creating a lovely base for your toppings.

15. Step 15

    Spread a generous layer of the refried bean mixture on each crust, followed by the vibrant tomato sauce.

16. Step 16

    Top it off with the seasoned ground beef and a hearty sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

17. Step 17

    Now, it’s time to bake! Place your pizzas in the preheated oven and let them bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted.

18. Step 18

    For even cooking, remember to turn the pizzas halfway through baking.

19. Step 19

    Once they’re done, let the aroma fill your kitchen and enjoy the deliciousness you’ve created!.
