# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet measuring 10 to 12 inches over medium heat.
02 - Evenly sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in the skillet to form a circular base approximately 0.5 inch thick. Allow to melt and cook until edges are deeply golden and crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes.
03 - While crust cooks, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes.
04 - Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir thoroughly and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Once the cheese crust is golden and the bottom is crispy, carefully blot excess grease with a paper towel if needed.
06 - Spoon the seasoned taco beef evenly over the melted cheese crust.
07 - Add toppings in this order: tomatoes, red onion, black olives, lettuce, avocado, and dollops of sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro and jalapeño slices as desired.
08 - Slide the pizza onto a cutting board. Allow to cool 1 minute for easier slicing. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
