How to make taco pizza.
Fathead dough.
- Melt the mozzarella and the cream cheese together. You can do this using a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the ingredients until melted. This should take between one and two minutes to do. I suggest keeping an eye on the melting cheese as you do not want it to burn.
- Add the almond flour and the egg to the melted cheese. Stir this well to combine.
- Transfer the fathead dough to a flat surface dusted with almond flour. When the dough is at a temperature that you are comfortable kneading with, and knead the dough with your hands until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky! I share tips above for working with sticky fathead dough.
- You can store extra fathead dough in the refrigerator for a couple of days or in the freezer for longer. Just be sure to wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and allow it to get to room temperature before using.

- Prepare the fathead dough as described. Roll the dough out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper that has also been sprayed for nonstick. There should be an additional piece of parchment paper on top of the dough when you roll it out.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- To make the pizza, evenly distribute the salsa and then the taco meat over the prepared fathead dough that has been rolled out on the baking sheet. Leave about an inch of the sides of the dough free to serve as a crust. Top this with the shredded cheese.
- Bake the pizza for 12-14 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the pizza have turned golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before adding the fresh toppings and serving.
Tips for making the best taco pizza.
The taco meat in this recipe is part of the recipe itself. You can omit the meat, use your own taco meat, or use a premade taco meat instead.
More helpful tips for you.
- Feel free to sub in other ingredients such as the cheese that I have listed below. Just make sure that the ingredients that you are using are also low in net carbohydrates.
- When making the dough, After the cheese is melted it can become really hot or too warm to actually work with. I suggest waiting until you are comfortable to actually work with it before you touch the dough.
- Fathead dough can be sticky to work with. Refrigerating the dough may help it be easier to work with. On the flip-side, heating the dough for a 10-15 seconds can help it become easier to work with too.
How to store taco pizza.
In case you have leftovers, I suggest not adding the fresh toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, etc) to the pizza until your are actually going to serve it. This way you can easily reheat the pizza without ruining the fresh ingredients.
