Taco Pizza

This recipe turns tacos into pizza. Crescent roll dough is pressed into a pan and baked. Refried beans are spread on the warm crust. Then ground beef is cooked with taco seasoning. The cooked beef is sprinkled on top of the beans with cheddar cheese. After baking until the cheese melts, tomatoes, green onions and black olives are sprinkled on top. Sour cream finishes this Mexican take on a pizza.

Recipe Notes

I add some salsa to the beans to thin them out and make them easier to spread.
