Provided by Linda Larsen

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground pork (or chorizo sausage , raw)
1 onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16-ounce) bottle taco sauce
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (4-ounce) can green chilies (drained)
2 (13.8-ounce) cans pizza dough (or enough pizza dough for 2 pizzas)
Cooking spray
4 cups Colby-Jack cheese (or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded)

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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 pound ground beef
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 (6 inch) corn tortillas
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
8 tablespoons sour cream
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
2 green onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
½ avocado, diced
1 tablespoon black olives, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the refried beans.
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Stir in the seasoning packet.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place a small amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Let the oil heat, then place one corn tortilla in the skillet. After 15 seconds, flip the tortilla over and let it fry another 15 seconds. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, letting them drain on paper towels once they have been heated. When the tortillas have drained, arrange them on a cookie sheet.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Mexican pizza will taste. This is especially true for the salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo. If you can, use homemade salsa and guacamole instead of store-bought.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is one of the key ingredients in Mexican pizza, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per 12-inch pizza.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about Mexican pizza is that you can top it with just about anything you like. Some popular toppings include beef, chicken, chorizo, beans, corn, and bell peppers. Get creative and experiment with different combinations of toppings to find your favorite.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature: Mexican pizza is best when it's cooked at a high temperature. This will help the crust get crispy and the cheese get melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Mexican pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and melted cheese, Mexican pizza is sure to be a hit at your next party or family gathering.
