This popular recipe adds the ingredients of a taco onto a pizza and uses Pillsbury crescent rolls as the crust. The buttery flavor from the crescent rolls really goes nicely with the flavor of the taco meat. The crescent roll dough is spread out onto a baking dish, placed into the oven and baked, and then topped with refried beans. The pizza is then topped off with a Mexican cheese blend, black olives, green onions, and tomatoes. This taco pizza can also be topped with sour cream, salsa or whatever you like on your tacos.
