Notes

  • If you don’t have fresh dough, a pre-made pizza crust will do just fine.
  • If you don’t have all the seasonings needed to season the ground beef, you can also purchase a package of taco seasoning as a shortcut.
  • If you don’t have refried black beans, You can use whole cooked black beans and smash them into a creamy consistency.
