Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 6–8)

Crescent crust:

2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (you love this format!)

Taco topping:

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & black pepper
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce or no-sugar-added salsa

Pizza finish:

1½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced (soak in water 10 min to mellow)
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Optional: Sliced jalapeños, sour cream, or Greek yogurt

For serving:

Lime wedges (you love citrus!)
Extra cilantro

Instructions

1. Prep crust:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Unroll both crescent dough sheets; press together into a single rectangle (seal perforations).
Crimp edges slightly to form a “crust.”

2. Cook taco filling:

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until browned. Drain fat. Add onion; cook 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and spices; cook 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce; simmer 3 minutes.

3. Assemble pizza:

Spread meat mixture evenly over crescent dough (leave ½” border).
Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 12–15 minutes until dough is golden and cheese is bubbly.

4. Finish & serve:

Top warm pizza with tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and optional jalapeños. Serve with lime wedges and extra toppings on the side.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
✅ Seal dough seams well—prevents filling leakage.
✅ Use no-sugar-added salsa—many tomato sauces sneak in sugar (you love blood sugar friendly!).
✅ Low-sodium mastery (you love this!):
→ Use low-sodium tomato sauce + skip added salt
→ Boost umami with extra cumin and smoked paprika
✅ Blood sugar friendly (you love this!):
→ Naturally lower-glycemic than traditional pizza
→ Net carbs: 18g/serving
✅ Make ahead:
→ Assemble unbaked pizza; refrigerate 4 hours (add 2–3 min to bake time)
→ Add fresh toppings just before serving
