Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 lb ground beef, chicken, turkey, or black beans
  • 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • Sour cream, for serving

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin:
  2. Prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Prepare Oven and Dough
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a half-sheet pan. Roll dough to fit the pan and gently press into corners. Let the dough rest in the pan for about 15–20 minutes to help prevent shrinking during baking.
  5. Cook the Filling
  6. Place a skillet over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking into small pieces, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in stock, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer briefly until combined.
  7. Assemble
  8. Spread refried beans evenly over dough. Add salsa, followed by seasoned meat and shredded cheeses.
  9. Bake
  10. Bake for about 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is fully melted and heated through.
  11. Finish and Serve
  12. Remove from oven and allow pizza to rest briefly. Add lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeños if using. Slice and serve warm with sour cream.
  13. Doneness & Safety Cues
  14. Meat should be fully cooked and no longer pink before assembling.
  15. Crust should appear golden and firm on the bottom.
  16. Cheese should be fully melted and heated through.
  17. Pizza should be hot throughout before serving.

Notes

  • Let dough rest and preheat oven fully for best texture.
  • Avoid excess wet toppings and spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours; store up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
  • Reheat at 375°F until hot and crisp; microwave softens crust.
