Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for a few more minutes. Set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
Spread taco meat over one half of the dough, and sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Cut into 1-inch strips and twist each into a spiral.
Place the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with salsa and sour cream for dipping.

Notes

Add diced onions, bell peppers, or corn to the taco meat for extra flavor.

For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or chili flakes to the filling.

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of the recipe.
