Easy Taco Pizza is as quick as rolling out a can of crescent dough but you can absolutely use my recipe for homemade pizza dough in its place and make a truly Homemade Taco Pizza bake the pizza crust for the same amount of time as directed below.

Tips for Crescent Pizza:

• Do not stretch the crescent dough, if it gets too thin it will be like a cracker instead of being chewy.
• Make the first layer something less watery if possible like refried beans, cream cheese or sour cream instead of salsa.
• If the crescent roll dough has triangles that are torn apart take the time to press the seams back together or buy the sheets instead.
• Instead of ground beef you can use ground chicken or ground turkey too to lighten the recipe up too.

Taco Pizza Recipe Shape Variations

• Taco Pizza Roll Ups: Spread refried beans, taco meat and cheddar cheese over the crescent dough then roll. Using kitchen twine cut into rolls then place side up and bake for 18-20 minutes.
• Taco Pizza Crescents: Use crescent rolls with half a piece of string cheese (cheddar variety if you can find them), ground beef and other toppings, then roll into the standard crescent shape and bake according to the directions on the crescent dough can.
• Deep-Dish Taco Pizza Recipe: If you Put the pizza dough into a cake pan and bake it then layer the ingredients into it and slice it, you can call it a Taco Pie.
