- 8 oz 226g cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup 120g sour cream
- 1 lb 454g ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet 1 oz, 28g taco seasoning
- 1 cup 100g shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings:
- ¼ cup sliced jalapeños

Instructions
Preheat Oven
- I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray for this flavorful taco pizza.
Bake Crust
- I unroll 1 can of crescent roll dough, press seams together on the sheet to form a continuous crust, and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden for perfect crispy taco bites.
Prepare Creamy Base
- In a bowl, I mix 8 oz softened cream cheese and ½ cup sour cream until smooth. I spread this over the cooled crust for a creamy tasty Mexican appetizer.
Cook Meat
- In a skillet over medium heat, I cook 1 lb ground beef or turkey until browned, draining excess fat. I add 1 packet taco seasoning and cook for 2–3 minutes for flavorful taco pizza.
Assemble Pizza
- I spread the seasoned meat over the creamy base, then sprinkle 1 cup each of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, 1 cup diced tomatoes, and 1 cup shredded lettuce for vibrant crispy taco bites.
Slice and Serve
- I slice into 8 pieces with a pizza cutter and serve on a platter for a fun, tasty Mexican appetizer.
Notes
- This dish can be made with ground turkey for a leaner option.
- Experiment with various toppings to customize to your liking.
