Crescent roll pizza topped off with all of our favorite taco flavors! This is the perfect football food and you can top it off with whatever you like!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – when it comes to football, I’m only here for the food.
I could care less about the men on the tv running around in circles, but I am highly interested in what kind of dip you might have setting out for me try.
Not interested in the score, but super into testing out those grape jelly meatballs in your crockpot.
Please don’t even tell me what teams are playing, just give me the recipe for that Mexican cheese dip!
I think you get the picture.
Anyway, this taco pizza is much like my veggie pizza and fruit pizza, but this time with taco flavors!
It’s so easy since it starts with crescent roll dough and it’s easy to customize with whatever toppings you like.
How to make crescent roll pizza:
You can start one of two ways with this recipe.
Either buy a couple tubes of the crescent dough sheets and roll them out into a half sheet pan or buy a couple tubes of the regular crescent dough.
If you buy the regular crescent dough, you’ll just have to pinch the seams together. Easy peasy and either option works.
The dough sheets can be harder to find and often seem to be sold out, but that’s what I grab when I see them. Otherwise, I just pinch the regular crescent dough together and call it good.
You’ll bake up the crescent dough until it’s just ever so lightly golden brown and then let it cool completely.
To make this into a taco pizza, we’re going to combine some cream cheese and sour cream with a little taco seasoning and spread that creamy goodness over the top of the crescent roll crust.
Once that’s done, you’ll just start layering on your taco toppings.
I whipped up a standard taco meat (ground beef + a packet of taco seasoning) and added in some diced greeand then topped things off with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheddar, black olives, and some cilantro. You can add whatever you like!
Such an easy snack and everyone loves it!

Amy Berg says
I am going to try this tonight! It is typically served cold?
Karly says
We usually serve it when the meat is still slightly warm, but the crust has cooled completely. So, room temperature really. Just be sure not to leave the meat out for too long, food safety and all that. 🙂

Oh my YUM! Looks fab.
Thank you for sharing

Made for dinner tonight and overall it was good, but the extra taco seasoning packet in the sour cream/cream cheese mixture made it far too salty for us. Next time I will omit that (just the packet, the spread is a must), the one mixed with the beef makes it taste plenty ‘taco’ enough.
Kathi says
My Mom used to make taco pie very similar to this! It was a Pillsbury Bake off winner sometime in the 70’s…it’s still one of my favorite comfort foods! Love this pizza idea of my favorite childhood meal!
