Notes

Feel free to change up the toppings and cheeses to suit your personal tastes.
Add the protein of your choice, such as shredded cooked chicken or ground beef.
Gently warm the refried bean mixture in the microwave to make it easier to spread on the dough.
If you plan to prepare taco pizza ahead of time, I recommend waiting until just before serving before adding the lettuce, tomato, and cheese to prevent sogginess.
If you don’t have a pizza pan, you can use a sheet pan!
