Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the sheet, pressing the seams together to create a seamless crust. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown, then let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled crust and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat and mix in taco seasoning, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Spread the seasoned ground beef over the creamy base, and top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
  5. Slice the Taco Pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
