# Step-by-Step Directions:

Preheat oven to 230°C. If using refrigerated dough, preheat per package instructions. Stretch the prepared dough to fit a 30 x 43 cm baking sheet.
02 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and stir well.
03 -
Warm refried beans and spread evenly over the dough. Top with the seasoned ground beef, then sprinkle with shredded Colby-Jack cheese.
04 -
Scatter diced tomato and sliced black olives evenly over the cheese layer.
05 -
Bake in preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
06 -
Remove from oven and let rest 5–10 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions.
07 -
Slice pizza into squares. Serve with salsa and sour cream as desired.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Warming the refried beans before spreading ensures an even application and prevents tearing the dough.
02 -
Drain all excess grease from the ground beef to maintain a crisp crust.
03 -
Customize with additional preferred toppings such as jalapeños or shredded lettuce after baking.
04 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat for best results using an oven or air fryer to crisp the crust.
