6. Add the Toppings
Evenly distribute the seasoned beef over the beans, followed by the shredded cheese. Then scatter on the diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and chopped green onions for color and crunch.

7. Bake
Place the pizza in your preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish and Serve
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes after baking. If you like, drizzle with sour cream, salsa, or a few spoonfuls of guacamole just before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• Use a pizza stone or baking steel if you want a crispier crust.
• Customize your toppings: Add jalapeños for heat, or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
• Make it vegetarian by using plant-based ground meat or simply skipping the meat and piling on beans and veggies.
• Low-sodium swaps: Choose reduced-salt taco seasoning and beans to make it more heart-friendly.
