Ingredients
- 1 14" Pizza Crust
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 Tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning
- ½ cup Pizza Marinara Sauce
- ½ cup Queso Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded

- ¾ cup Doritos* crushed
- 2 Scallions diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F
- Prepare a 14” pizza crust and place it on a pizza pan or baking stone, set aside.
- In a medium sized skillet add the ground beef and cook over medium heat. Use a spoon or spatula to break apart the ground beef as it cooks. Stir the ground beef regularly until all of the pink is gone, this should take around 10 minutes.
- Remove from the stove and drain off any excess grease that has accumulated while cooking the ground beef. Return the ground beef to the skillet.
- Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Cook for 2 additional minutes over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To the prepared pizza crust add the marinara sauce and use an offset spatula to spread it in a thin layer, covering the entire crust.
- On top of the marinara sauce, drizzle the queso cheese sauce. Spread it out with the spatula into an even layer.
- Add the prepared ground beef on top of the queso layer and then top with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and top with the iceberg lettuce, crushed nacho chips, and scallions.
- Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
* any kind of cheesy nacho chip will work for this recipe, use your favourite!
Pizza Crust- any pizza crust will work for this recipe. Of course, you can’t beat a homemade pizza crust, but in a pinch a store bought one will work just fine!
Taco Seasoning- My homemade taco seasoning is a no brainer! It is WAY cheaper than buying the premade version at the store and it lasts forever.
Pizza Marinara Sauce- This is a super simple recipe to make homemade pizza marinara sauce from scratch using only a few pantry ingredients. But if that’s not your jam, use whatever pizza sauce you love most!
Queso Cheese Dip- Again, you can’t beat a homemade queso dip, but in a pinch the pre-prepared queso dip from the grocery store will work too!
