This Pizza Hut Taco Pizza recipe combines the bold flavors of seasoned ground beef, green chilies, and melty Colby Jack cheese on a crispy pizza crust, topped with fresh crunchy romaine lettuce, juicy diced tomatoes, red onion, and black olives for a vibrant, satisfying twist on classic pizza.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 2 packets taco seasoning blend
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

Cheese

  • 3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (divided)

Pizza Base

  • Pizza crust prepared to fit a 15×10 baking sheet
  • Cornmeal for dusting the baking sheet

Fresh Toppings

  • Fresh romaine lettuce (shredded)
  • Diced tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks until crumbly and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Season the Meat: Add the taco seasoning packets to the beef along with ½ cup water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavors.
  3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dust the baking sheet with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  4. Prepare the Pizza Crust: Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet, fitting it snugly. Pinch edges to form a crust.
  5. Spread the Beef Mixture: Evenly spread the seasoned ground beef over the pizza crust.
  6. Add the Green Chiles: Sprinkle the diced green chilies evenly over the beef layer.
  7. Layer on the Cheese: Sprinkle about 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese over the beef and chilies.
  8. Bake Your Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese bubbles and crust edges turn golden brown.
  9. Add Fresh Toppings: Once out of the oven and slightly cooled, top the pizza with shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and sliced black olives.
  10. Slice and Serve: Slice the pizza into serving pieces and enjoy with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.

Notes

  • For added spice, use a spicy taco seasoning or add jalapeños to the fresh toppings.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Make sure to drain excess grease from the cooked beef to avoid a soggy crust.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot melted cheese and fresh crunchy toppings.
