Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust instructions, usually around 425°F (220°C).

Evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef over the pizza crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Carefully take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Top the pizza with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, diced avocado, and any other desired toppings.
Add dollops of sour cream and salsa on top for extra flavor.
Finish with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
