A creamy cheese and salsa topping layered with seasoned ground beef, fresh tomatoes, cheddar jack cheese, and crisp lettuce makes for a crowd-pleasing dish perfect for weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls

For the creamy topping:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp jarred salsa

For the taco meat:

  • 1 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning

For the toppings:

  • 3 to 4 diced roma tomatoes
  • 4 to 5 oz shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • 1/2 oz bag shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Bake the Crescent Roll Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F as directed on the crescent roll package. Unroll the crescent rolls onto a cookie sheet and pinch seams together to seal. Bake until golden brown. Let the crust cool completely on the counter before assembling the pizza.
  2. Prepare the Taco Meat: While the crust cools, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water according to packet instructions. Stir and simmer until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Toppings: Dice the roma tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and jarred salsa until smooth to create the creamy pizza sauce.
  4. Assemble the Crescent Taco Pizza: Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust. Evenly top with the cooked taco meat, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar jack cheese, and finish with shredded lettuce. For best flavor, layer cheese and lettuce a bit heavier in the center.
  5. Serve: Cut the taco pizza into squares and serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

Notes

  • Ensure the crescent roll crust is fully cooled before spreading the cream cheese topping to prevent melting.
  • For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or use spicy salsa in the creamy topping.
  • This pizza is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated and consumed within 2 days.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for beef for a leaner option.
  • Leftover taco pizza can be reheated briefly in the oven to refresh the crust’s crispiness.
