Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 packet taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Other toppings as desired (black olives, chopped avocado, etc)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Toppings (10 minutes): In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned. In the meantime, prepare the other toppings.
  3. Assemble Pizza (5 minutes): Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread the cooked ground beef evenly on the crust, followed by black beans, corn, tomatoes, and cheese.
  4. Bake (12-15 minutes): Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve (3 minutes): Once out of the oven, sprinkle with green onions, drizzle with sour cream, and garnish with cilantro if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Consider adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you fancy a little extra heat. A side of guacamole or a fresh avocado salad can be a delightful accompaniment, enhancing the freshness of the meal. For those who enjoy a crispy crust, placing the pizza directly on the oven rack can do the trick. And, of course, pair it with an iced tea or a sparkling lemonade to complete the festive vibe. Enjoy!
