Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add water and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll pizza dough into a rectangle and cut into 10 equal strips.
  5. Spoon taco filling down the center of each strip. Top with mozzarella and cheddar. Fold dough over the filling and pinch edges to seal, forming sticks.
  6. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool slightly and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
