Assemble the Calzone
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Spread cheese sauce on one half of the dough. Add mozzarella cheese, taco meat, crushed Doritos, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives on top.

Seal and Bake
Fold the dough over to create a pocket and pinch the edges to seal. Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
