MEXICAN PIZZA

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Arrange the racks in the oven so they evenly divide the oven into thirds. You'll use both racks, rotating and moving the pizzas around as they cook.
- In a large skillet, cook the pork with onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until the meat is browned, stirring to break up with a fork. Drain if necessary. If you are using chorizo, cook the onions until they are tender and then add the chorizo, cooking for a few minutes until the fat is rendered and the meat is well browned.
- Add the taco sauce, tomato sauce, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and pepper to the onion mixture. Stir well, and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Stir in drained green chiles.
- Spray 2 cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray and then spread the pizza crust dough onto the sheets.
- Bake them for 5 to 8 minutes or until they are just set.
- Spread the sauce evenly over both of the pizza crusts and top evenly with the shredded cheese.
- Bake at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and begins to brown. Halfway through the cooking time, swap the cookie sheets so they each have time on the upper and lower baking racks. This will help ensure an even bake on both pizzas. Make sure that the crusts are browned on the bottom and the pizzas have cooked evenly.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy.

Tips:
- To make your Mexican pizza dough, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Then, add the butter and shortening and use your fingers to work them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Next, add the water and egg and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, make the refried beans. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the beans, water, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
- Once the beans are done, mash them with a potato masher or fork until they are smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
- To assemble the Mexican pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Place the dough on a greased baking sheet and spread the refried beans evenly over the top. Top with the cheese, salsa, and your favorite toppings.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
This Mexican pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will enjoy. The homemade dough is crispy and flavorful, and the refried beans, salsa, and cheese are all perfectly balanced. This recipe is also very versatile, so you can customize it to your liking. For example, you could use black beans instead of pinto beans, or you could add some chopped jalapeños to the salsa for a little bit of spice. No matter how you make it, this Mexican pizza is sure to be a hit!
