Keto Taco Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 (12-16 ounce) keto-friendly pizza dough (almond flour-based or other low-carb option)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (1 ounce) packet of taco seasoning (ensure it’s low-carb or use homemade)
- 1/4 cup salsa (choose a low-carb salsa)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- Toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, sour cream, taco sauce (choose low-carb options)
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Follow the instructions for preparing your keto-friendly pizza dough. Let it rest at room temperature as needed.

- Pre-bake the Crust:

- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the salsa layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese and sliced olives on top of the ground beef.
- Final Bake:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
