You heard me, Pizza Burrito. Two of my favorite things join hands in this delicious combination to bring you a tangy, spicy, salty, cheesy, creamy, crunchy, soul satisfying bite. This dish was born on the drive home from a weekend climbing trip as my husband and I discussed what we should have for dinner. His go-to is pizza, and mine is burritos. We compromised/brought both our favorites to the next level.
There are two ways to go about pizza burrito making, and both are amazing. 1) make a tortilla pizza and add burrito filling, or 2) make a calzone filled with both pizza and burrito fillings. I like the calzone version better, but the tortilla version is a little less work.
I realized as I wrote this recipe I have never posted about pizza, pizza dough, or guacamole! . I’m sorry. I will rectify my oversight soon.
Pizza Burrito
- Pizza sauce
- Tortillas or Pizza Dough

Tortilla Version

- While tortilla pizza is baking heat beans and taco meat until warmed through.
- When tortilla pizzas are done top with beans and taco meat, roll up, and cover with guacamole and hot sauce.
Calzone Version
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Roll out pizza dough into an oval about 1/4″ thick (1 oval per person).
- Spread pizza sauce over half the oval and top with cheese, heated beans, and heated taco meat.
- Fold the naked half of the pizza dough over the topping and pinch the edges together to keep the filling inside.
- Bake in hot oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Finish with guacamole and hot sauce and be careful because the filling is HOT!!
