How to Make Twig's Taco Pizza

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out pizza dough on a 14-inch pizza pan.
In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off excess grease.
Stir in 1 oz of taco seasoning mix; cook for 2 minutes more.
Set the seasoned beef aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, warm the refried beans over low heat until spreadable.
Spread the refried beans evenly over the pizza dough.
Top with the cooled ground beef.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the beef and beans.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven. Immediately cut the pizza into slices, leaving them on the pan.
Evenly spread the shredded lettuce over the pizza.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped red onions.
Serve immediately with your favorite taco sauce and sour cream on the side.
