I don't remember the first time that I had a taco pizza. I just remember really loving it.

It's been a very long time since I've had a taco pizza, so I figured it was time to create a recipe for one.

I think this is my favorite way to eat taco ingredients. You get a contrast of textures from soft spicy tofu and vegan cheese to crunchy lettuce and pizza crust.

The pizza is topped with everything you'd find in a taco: salsa, taco-flavored tofu, shredded vegan cheddar, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.

You could also include Homemade Guacamole or chopped avocado, and vegan sour cream. The sky's the limit.

Other fusion pizza recipes to try are my Vegan Thai Pizza, Vegan Greek Pizza recipe, and Vegan Asian Style Pizza. You might also like my Vegan Spinach Calzones or my Vegan Calzones with Tofu Ricotta recipe.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

You don't have to decide between pizza or tacos. It is the best of both worlds.
It has a balance of flavors that you can customize to your liking.
It's an easy recipe. To make it even easier you can make parts of it ahead of time like the spicy tofu or homemade salsa.

🧾 Ingredients

Spicy tofu: Made with tofu, salsa, tomato paste, onion, garlic, and spices, it adds taco flavors. You could also use Vegan Walnut Taco Meat, beans, or vegan crumbles.
Pizza dough: I used a store-bought vegan gluten-free pizza dough. Use your favorite.
Salsa: I used homemade salsa. Use your favorite.
Vegan cheddar: I used store-bought vegan cheese. Use your favorite.
Lettuce: I like iceberg lettuce for the crunch. Romaine lettuce would also be good.
Tomatoes: I used cherry tomatoes. Any tomato would work.
Kalamata olives: Green olives also would work.

🥡 Storage

The prebaked pizza crust will last a few days. I recommend adding the toppings and baking the pizza right before serving.

💭 Tips

I recommend baking the pizza crust first to get a crispy crust. Then add the vegan cheddar and spicy tofu and bake a little longer.
Make the spicy tofu the day before to make things easier. Better yet, double the batch and make tacos or nachos.
Add the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and Kalamata olives after baking. That way you get the same mouthfeel as tacos with warm and cold ingredients.
Whatever you like on your tacos, use them here. Feel free to change things up. It's your taco pizza after all!
