Fajita pizza with chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the flavors of Mexican fajitas with the convenience of a pizza. The pizza is made with a crispy tortilla crust, topped with seasoned chicken, bell peppers, onions, and cheese. It is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This recipe also includes instructions for making a homemade fajita seasoning blend, as well as a sour cream sauce for dipping. Additionally, there are two other recipes included in the article: one for a vegetarian fajita pizza and one for a sheet pan fajita pizza. The vegetarian pizza is made with the same ingredients as the chicken pizza, but without the chicken. The sheet pan pizza is made with a pre-made pizza crust, which makes it even easier to prepare. All three of these recipes are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun party appetizer.

Steps:
- Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the chicken breast on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put in the oven and roast until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven to a cutting board and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat with a fork and set aside. Cook's Note: Can be done the day before.
- Turn the oven temperature up to 400 degrees F.
- Put a pizza stone in the oven to preheat for 1 hour, for best results. Remove the pizza dough from refrigerator and let come to room temperature, so it will be easier to work with.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with the olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and stir to toast. This will add depth of flavor. Stir in the tomato puree, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and oregano and bring up to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, for the flavors to marry together. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Thinly coat a large saute pan with olive oil and heat over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the peppers, onion and garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove and set aside.
- To assemble:
- Flour the counter top and roll out the pizza dough to a 13-inch diameter. Carefully remove the pizza stone from the oven and put the dough on top. Ladle on the tomato sauce to lightly cover the bottom of the pizza. Sprinkle with the chicken, vegetables, and the cheeses.
- Bake the pizza until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, then slice and serve.

Steps:
- Place a grill-safe pizza stone (see Cook's Note) that is at least 14 inches in diameter on a grill. For gas grills with 3 or more burners: Turn all the burners to high heat and close the lid. Let the stone heat until the internal temperature of the grill is 500 degrees F, about 15 minutes. For charcoal grills: Fill a chimney starter with enough charcoal for high heat, then light it (be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for the best results for high-heat cooking). Close the lid and let the stone heat until the internal temperature of the grill is 500 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the marinade. Mix the olive oil, chili powder, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer half of the mixture (about 1/4 cup) to another medium bowl. Add the peppers and onions to one bowl and mix to combine. Add the chicken to the other bowl and mix to combine.
- Place the chicken on one half of the pizza stone and the peppers and onions on the other half. Close the grill and cook until the chicken is cooked through, has a nice char on the bottom and the vegetables are softened and caramelized on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes (3 to 5 minutes if using a charcoal grill).
- Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter and serve in the tortillas with the guacamole, pico de gallo, hot sauce and sour cream, if desired.
