Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 12″ HRI Classic Sausage Pizza

Toppings

  • 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
  • 1 cup ground beef, browned
  • ½ tomato, chopped
  • ¾ cup lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tbsp green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it is adequately heated for a crispy pizza crust.
  2. Prepare the pizza: Remove the 12″ HRI Classic Sausage Pizza from all its packaging to get ready for assembly.
  3. Add toppings: Evenly spread the crushed tortilla chips, browned ground beef, and chopped tomatoes over the pizza surface to build that taco-inspired flavor profile.
  4. Bake the pizza: Place the prepared pizza directly on the oven rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy.
  5. Finish with fresh toppings: Remove the hot pizza from the oven and immediately top it with chopped lettuce, drizzle ranch dressing over the top, and sprinkle sliced green onions for a fresh, tangy finish.
  6. Serve: Cut the pizza into squares and serve warm to enjoy the perfect combination of cool ranch and taco-seasoned goodness.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce before baking.
  • Use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • The ranch dressing can be replaced with a dairy-free version to suit lactose-intolerant diets.
  • Ensure the tortilla chips are crushed to bite-size pieces so they crisp well during baking without overpowering the pizza.
  • For extra cheesiness, add shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese before baking along with the other toppings.
