1

Prepare the pizza dough

Start by making or purchasing your favorite pizza dough. If you're feeling adventurous, try a homemade recipe with a pinch of love and a dash of extra flavor. If you prefer a shortcut, store-bought dough works just fine too.

2

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to a fiery 450°F (230°C). This will ensure a crispy crust and quick cooking time for your pizza masterpiece.

3

Prepare the taco-inspired sauce

In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning, and a splash of hot sauce (optional). This zesty sauce will be the base of your taco-inspired pizza.

4

Top it off with taco goodness

Spread the taco-inspired sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Now, it's time to get creative with the toppings! Load up your pizza with cooked ground beef or chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and plenty of shredded cheese.

5

Bake to perfection

Place the loaded pizza in the preheated oven and let it bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melty. Keep an eye on it to prevent any delicious mishaps!

6

Finish with fresh toppings

Once your pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle it with fresh toppings like chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice. These finishing touches will add a burst of freshness and elevate the taco flavors.

7

Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Finally, slice your taco-inspired pizza into wedges, gather your hungry amigos, and indulge in a slice of Mexican-Italian fusion heaven. Don't be surprised when they start begging for seconds!
