Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out your pizza dough to fit the size of your air fryer basket. You may need to do this on a lightly floured surface.
Place Dough in the Air Fryer: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully transfer the rolled-out pizza dough into the basket. Trim any excess dough that hangs over the sides.
Par-Bake the Crust: Air fry the pizza dough at 375°F (190°C) for about 3-4 minutes or until it starts to puff up and turn slightly golden. This step helps ensure a crispy crust.
Cook the Ground Beef: While the crust is par-baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and follow the package instructions. Drain any excess grease.
Assemble the Taco Pizza: Once the crust is par-baked, spread a layer of refried beans over the crust, followed by salsa. Sprinkle cooked ground beef evenly over the beans and salsa. Then, add a generous amount of shredded cheese.
Add Toppings: Scatter sliced tomatoes, red onion, black olives, and jalapeños (if using) over the cheese layer.
Air Fry the Taco Pizza: Place the loaded pizza back into the air fryer basket. Continue to air fry at 375°F (190°C) for another 5-7 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the toppings are heated through.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the taco pizza from the air fryer and let it cool slightly. Before serving, garnish with dollops of sour cream and fresh cilantro leaves.
Slice and Enjoy: Use a pizza cutter to slice your Air Fryer Taco Pizza into portions, and serve it up while it's hot and crispy.
