– 1 small jalapeño, sliced (optional for heat)
– 1 cup black olives, sliced

### How to Make Easy Taco Pizza
#### Step 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough
1. Preheat your oven to **400°F (200°C)**.
2. Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. You can use store-bought pizza dough for convenience, or make your own for a more homemade touch.
3. Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Use your hands to gently stretch and shape the dough to fit the pan.
#### Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
4. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the **ground beef** until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
5. Add the **taco seasoning** to the meat, along with a bit of water (as directed on the seasoning packet) and stir until well combined. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
#### Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
6. Spread a thin layer of **salsa** (if using) over the prepared pizza dough as the base. This adds extra flavor and moisture to the pizza.
7. Evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef mixture over the pizza dough, covering the salsa layer.
8. Sprinkle a generous amount of **cheddar** and **mozzarella** cheese over the beef. The combination of cheeses will melt beautifully and give your pizza that irresistible cheesy goodness.
#### Step 4: Bake the Pizza
9. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for **12-15 minutes**, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust is crispy and fully cooked.
#### Step 5: Add the Fresh Toppings
10. Once the pizza is out of the oven, add your favorite taco toppings. Layer on **shredded lettuce**, **diced tomatoes**, **sliced onions**, **jalapeños**, and any other toppings you like.
11. Top with a dollop of **sour cream** and sprinkle with **fresh cilantro** for a burst of flavor. If you’re using **sliced avocado**, add that on top for a creamy, rich addition to your taco pizza.
12. Slice and serve immediately! Enjoy the fresh crunch from the veggies and the warm, cheesy taco flavors.
