These Naan Taco Pizzas beautifully blend two of my son's favorite dishes into an unforgettable dinner experience. The base features naan bread, generously topped with gooey nacho cheese that melts into a delicious layer of flavor. On top of that, taco meat adds a hearty touch, all finished with an extra sprinkle of cheese for that perfect ooey-gooey effect. With every bite, these pizzas promise to become a new family favorite that will have everyone coming back for seconds! You’re sure to love it because of how easy it is to put together. You can even pre-cook the taco meat and then assemble dinner in just a few minutes.

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a sheet pan with nonstick spray.

How do you serve this?
- In my family, we tend to eat these by themselves, each putting on our favorite toppings. But we are usually on the go a lot and rushing off to the next event. However, when we want to make a meal out of it, I like to add sides of street corn, Green Rice, or refried beans covered in melty cheese.
FAQs (Because Life’s Too Busy for Guesswork)
Yes, if you would like to make them in the air fryer, assemble as instructed and then place them in the air fryer pan for 3-5 minutes at 360°F.
For adding heat to the dish, you could use hot sauce, jalapenos, or sliced chili peppers. Another option is to stir in a can of hot Rotel to your meat mixture.
If you would like to make it vegetarian, you can remove the meat and replace it with black beans or jackfruit. Still season with the taco seasoning and continue assembling as instructed. They will still be amazing!
Naan bread is an oven-baked flatbread. Popular in Indian and South Asian cooking. It is chewy yet soft in its texture and usually has a slightly charred exterior from the tandoor oven in which it is traditionally baked.
What are substitutions that I can make?
- Ground beef – Other options include ground chicken or turkey, as well as shredded chicken or beef.
- Taco seasoning – If you would prefer to use a homemade mix instead of the packet, that is an option. You will need 3 tablespoons of the homemade mix to equal the amount in the packet. You may also need less water.
- Naan flatbreads – They come in different flavors at times. Pick a flavor you would like or think you would like to try.
- Taco cheese – Alternative options would be shredded Colby, mozzarella, or cheddar.
How should I store my leftovers?
- Naan Taco Pizza should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, place on a sheet pan and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until thoroughly reheated. I would recommend reheating before adding toppings.

so yummy!!
These were so fun! I used your vegetarian suggestion and made them with some cuban black beans and they were great. Love how quick they came together, too!
Easy to prepare. Great meal for the grandkids.
This was so tasty and easy to do. I did it with purpose-made leftover taco meat from Taco Tuesday. It made the end of a busy day just perfect. Everyone really enjoyed them.
This spin on tacos is great. It’s like a pizza taco sort of, in terms of how you eat it. We all loved it.
we LOVED these. So much nicer than dealing with a thick pizza dough, and the taco aspect was perfect for us to all customize with our own favorite toppings!
