Taco Pizza

Taco Pizza combines two favorites for the perfect easy meal! This recipe is made using crescent roll dough for a tasty meal everyone will love!

My easy crescent roll taco pizza recipe starts with a baked crescent dough crust that gets topped with sour cream, salsa, and taco beef. Then I add a layer of lettuce, followed by cheese, tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and a jalapeño ranch dressing drizzle. It’s a crowd-pleasing sheet pan dinner!

Crescent Roll Pizza Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients for this easy crescent roll recipe:

• Easy homemade pizza dough: AKA crescent rolls – you’ll need one 8 ounce can
• Taco meat: You’ll need a pound of lean ground beef, taco seasoning mix, and water
• Creamy toppings: sour cream and salsa
• Lettuce of choice: such as shredded iceberg (I used a bagged butter lettuce mix from Fresh Express)
• Shredded cheese: I like to use the “fiesta” or “Mexican” varieties
• Veggies: cherry tomatoes, green onions, and sliced black olives
• Ranch dressing: to make a creamy drizzle topping for your Mexican pizza (Litehouse Jalapeño Ranch is perfect!)

How to Make Crescent Roll Taco Pizza

Here are the steps for my easy pizza recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Unroll crescent dough onto a baking sheet for your super easy pizza dough. Pinch the seams together to make one smooth sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden.
3. In a large skillet, brown beef, crumbling as you go. When cooked through, drain the meat. Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer until heated through.
4. Top crescent roll crust with sour cream, then salsa, then beef mixture.
5. Top with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and drizzle with ranch dressing.

What to Serve with Taco Pizza

Taco pizza is a full meal on its own since it has bread, meat, salad, and veggies. It can also be an appetizer (just cut it into smaller portions) or a potluck or shower dish. For sides, I think a fruit salad would be a nice addition or a fun dessert to serve after like my 10-Minute Banana Pudding, Caramel Apple Cake, or Pig Pickin’ Cake.

I hope you love this recipe as much as my family and I do! I love recipes for crescent dough sheets because they usually simplify the recipe and add a unique texture. I like to use them as a base for breakfast casseroles and even desserts! You could easily make this into a crescent roll veggie pizza by leaving off the meat or replacing it with a meatless version.
