# Ingredient List:
→ Cheese Crust
01 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
02 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Taco Meat
03 - 7 oz ground beef
04 - 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
07 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
10 - Salt and pepper to taste
→ Toppings
11 - 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
12 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
14 - 1/3 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
15 - 1/4 avocado, sliced
16 - 2 tablespoons sour cream
17 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
18 - 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
# Directions:
01 - Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat.
02 - Evenly sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in the skillet to form a circular base approximately 1/2 inch thick. Allow to melt and cook until edges are deeply golden and crisp, approximately 5-7 minutes.
03 - While crust cooks, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes.
04 - Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir thoroughly and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Once the cheese crust is golden and the bottom is crispy, carefully blot any excess grease with a paper towel if needed.
06 - Spoon the seasoned taco beef evenly over the melted cheese crust.
07 - Distribute tomatoes, red onion, black olives, lettuce, and avocado over the meat. Add dollops of sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro and jalapeño slices as desired.
08 - Slide the pizza onto a cutting board and allow to cool for 1 minute for easier slicing. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
