Not only does a taco pizza put a fun twist on the traditional taco but the kids will love eating pizza on taco night! Say what?
Our taco pizza recipe is definitely piled high with seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, salsa, avocado, scallions and flavorful cilantro leaves making it quite a meal.
Made on a premade cauliflower pizza crust, this pizza just got more nutritious and oh so trendy and plant-based.

Decorations for a taco party
Taco time is a good time for a taco party! Tacos are the best party food and always put me in a fiesta state of mind!
If you decide to actually go all out and have a taco party, you definitely must start with hanging this Taco About A Party Banner (this makes me crack up every time!).
Then add a colorful Serepe Plastic Tablecloth, or this set of hand woven serape table runners in fextive colors (or both!) and these adorable Fiesta Paper Striped Party Straws with Tacos, Sombreros and more on them.
A taco serving plate with all the sections is an ideal way to serve all your favorite toppings and be sure to don your let's taco about it t-shirt (again, cracking up here!) and let the fiesta begin!
