taco pizza

Mexican-Italian hybrid pie

Taco pizza is a pizza topped with ingredients typical of tacos—seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and often a drizzle of salsa or sour cream.

The crust sometimes substitutes refried beans for tomato sauce.

A staple of Midwestern American cuisine, particularly in Iowa, where it originated in the 1970s: We ordered taco pizza for the watch party.
