The Fastest, Most Delicious Taco Pizza

Boy oh boy, do we love pizza…homemade pizza, specifically.

Really, any and all kinds of pizza is just perfect.

And what we have here today is a semi-homemade. While I absolutely adore pizza dough made in the bread machine and a homemade pizza pie, I’m also often in a hurry…or not at home at the right times of the day to make that happen.

And this ends up happening.

You use a pre-made dough, and load up the pie…in this case, with all our favorite taco toppings.

Check out how it works…

The ingredients….

Prep the veggies by cutting into sliced and diced pieces.

Get the dough pressed out all the way to the edge of the pan and give it a pinch to raise it up some.

Spread the taco sauce all over. I just use the back of a spoon.

Then the cheese…

Load up all the toppings and bake it!

MMMMM!

Drizzle the sour cream over the top (after baking!) for the final touch.

Enjoy!!
