Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls

For the creamy topping:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp jarred salsa

For the taco meat:

  • 1 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning

For the toppings:

  • 3 to 4 diced roma tomatoes
  • 4 to 5 oz shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • 1/2 oz bag shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Bake the Crescent Roll Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll the crescent rolls and spread them out on a cookie sheet, pressing seams together to seal. Bake until golden brown per package instructions. Let cool completely on the counter before assembling.
  2. Prepare the Taco Meat: While the crust cools, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning and water as directed on the packet, and simmer until well coated and sauce thickens. Let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Toppings: Dice the roma tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa until smooth to create the creamy pizza sauce.
  4. Assemble the Crescent Taco Pizza: Spread the creamy sauce evenly over the cooled crust. Top with the taco meat, then sprinkle diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar jack cheese, and finish with shredded lettuce, clustering cheese and lettuce more in the center for flavor.
  5. Serve: Cut the pizza into equal squares and serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra salsa or hot sauce to the creamy topping.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a leaner option.
  • Make sure the crescent roll base is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent melting.
  • Leftover pizza should be refrigerated and eaten within two days for best taste and safety.
  • For gluten-free needs, use gluten-free crescent dough if available.
