Ingredients

1 large pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup refried beans
1 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and mozzarella blend)
1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey (optional)
1/2 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon taco seasoning

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out your pizza crust on a floured surface and place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Spread a layer of refried beans over the crust, followed by salsa.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over the salsa, then add a generous amount of cheese.
If using, layer the cooked ground beef or turkey evenly over the cheese.
Top with black olives, diced tomatoes, and any remaining cheese.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
Once out of the oven, garnish with green onions, cilantro, and any additional toppings like sour cream or avocado.
