Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of extra lean ground beef over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked, then drain excess grease and add taco seasoning.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into two portions and roll out into 10-12 inch crusts.
  4. Transfer crusts to a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes.
  5. Mix pizza sauce with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl.
  6. Spread sauce over crusts, layer cooked beef and vegetables, and top with cheeses.
  7. Bake assembled pizzas for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is lightly golden.
  8. Let pizzas cool for a minute before slicing and serve with sides like guacamole.
