If you've never had a Doritos Taco Pizza, you're in for a real treat.

This is truly a unique pizza experience with so many fun flavors going on. I could eat this every day, its that good.

Taco pizza is something that I've seen (and ordered) on resturant menus here in New Jersey since I was a kid. I always loved the taco and pizza collaboration.

What a fun and delicious idea!

Adding the Doritos gives this pizza such an unexpected crunch and adds so much flavor, too.

I've made this pizza so many times for family and friends and everyone just absolutely loves it. This is truly a crowd pleaser and perfect for casual family dinners or get togethers.

I hope you give this recipe a try. I know that if you do, you'll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Do I have to use Nacho Cheese Doritos?

No you don't have to use cheese Doritos. Swap them out for whatever flavor that you'd like.

There are so many Dorito varieties out there pick whichever flavor is your favorite. I recommend Cool Ranch but they each give the pizza their own unique flavor.

Do I have to use ground beef for this Doritos Taco Pizza?

No, you dont have to use ground beef for this recipe. Use whatever makes you happy.

Ground turkey or chicken work very well here if you want to swap the beef out for one of those two.

Shredded chicken would be great too. Just be sure to season it with a little of that taco seasoning.

Things to know when making this Doritos Taco Pizza

There are a couple things that make this specific recipe so great that I’d like to you know about.

• Layer Of Sour Cream- Putting the sour cream down on top of the pizza crust is a strategic move. It will help secure the ground beef once it’s added This will stop the beef from completely rolling off the pizza.

• Add Cheese To The Beef- Adding cheese to the taco seasoned ground beef and mixing it in not only tastes great but there’s a reason for that, too. The cheese will bind the ground beef together, too. Another great way to keep the beef from rolling off the pizza when you’re trying to eat it. Also, please be sure to shred the cheese yourself. It will melt much better that way.

• Save The Doritos For Last- After you add all of your toppings, then add the Doritos. Doing it the other way might make them soggy. We don’t want to lost that crunch!
