School Fiestada Pizza
This tasty lunch treat was one of the highest requested school lunch recipe requests. While our school bought them already made, I found the brand they bought, dissected the list of ingredients and created a homemade version that is spot-on!!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 13.8 oz prepared or homemade pizza dough
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 ½ teaspoon taco seasoning
- ¾ cup pizza sauce
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Presss pizza dough in an even layer on a parchment paper-lined jelly roll size pan. Pierce with a fork, bake 3 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- To a skillet on medium-high heat, crumble and cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain of excess grease.
- To the beef in the skillet, stir in taco seasoning. In a small bowl, mix together pizza sauce, cumin, and salt.
- Spread the sauce over the crust. Sprinkle evenly half of the cheese on top, followed by the beef, then the remaining cheese.
- Bake 11-13 minutes or until the cheese is starting to brown and dough cooked through.

Did you make your own taco seasoning? If not, what brand did you use? This was my favorite school lunch and I cannot wait to try your recipe. Thank you.

I didn't make my own, but used a traditional taco seasoning Old El Paso from the store. I swear, it tastes JUST LIKE it did in school! I hope you LOVE it too!!
