A delicious and easy-to-make Cool Ranch Taco Pizza combining crispy HRI Classic Sausage pizza crust, crunchy tortilla chips, seasoned ground beef, fresh vegetables, and a creamy ranch drizzle for a flavorful taco-inspired twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 – 12″ HRI Classic Sausage Pizza

Toppings

  • 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
  • 1 cup ground beef, browned
  • ½ tomato, chopped
  • ¾ cup lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tbsp green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizza to a perfect golden crust.
  2. Prepare Pizza Base: Remove any packaging from the 12″ HRI Classic Sausage Pizza. This will be the base of your Cool Ranch Taco Pizza.
  3. Add Initial Toppings: Evenly spread the crushed tortilla chips, browned ground beef, and chopped tomato over the pizza surface to add crunch and flavor.
  4. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza directly on the oven rack for approximately 15-20 minutes. Bake until the crust turns golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
  5. Finish with Fresh Toppings: Remove the pizza from the oven carefully and top it with chopped lettuce, drizzle with ranch dressing, and sprinkle sliced green onion to add freshness and zest.
  6. Serve: Cut the pizza into squares and enjoy your Cool Ranch Taco Pizza fresh and warm.

Notes

  • Placing the pizza directly on the oven rack helps to achieve a crispier crust.
  • To save time, prepare and brown the ground beef while the oven preheats.
  • Use fresh, crisp lettuce for the best texture contrast with the warm baked toppings.
  • Substitute ranch dressing with a spicy chipotle ranch for a smoky flavor variation.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add black beans or seasoned plant-based meat substitute.
