How to Make Layered Tex-Mex Crescent Crust Pizza
Tip:
Use two rolls of crescent dough to create the crust base, and use the third roll to build up the edges for a more defined pizza border.
-
Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain off any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning according to package directions and let it simmer.
-
Meanwhile, prepare your pizza pan by unrolling the crescent dough and pressing it flat to cover the base. Use extra dough from the third roll to shape and fold over the edges to form a crust.
-
Spread the refried beans evenly over the uncooked crescent dough base.
-
Layer the seasoned taco meat evenly over the beans.
-
Sprinkle the entire surface with shredded cheese. Roll up the edges of the crust slightly and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
-
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Then add a generous layer of chopped lettuce in the center. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, hot pepper slices, and green onions to your preference. Drizzle taco sauce over the top and serve warm.
