Santa Fe Chicken Pizza image

Provided by Baz231

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 1 pizza, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 -3 firm red, ripe Roma tomatoes (1 cm dice)
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeno
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves (or cilantro)
300 g chicken breasts
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 pinch cumin
1 pinch dried chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves (or cilantro)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small red onion, peeled & sliced into 1/8 inch thick rings
1/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 large ripe unblemished Hass avocado
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped spring onion (scallions)
1/2 teaspoon finely minced jalapeno
1 plain pizza crust (or pizza base)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves (or cilantro)
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • TO MAKE SALSA: Combine salsa ingredients and set aside in refrigerator for 1/2 hour then place in a strainer to remove excess water. Set aside in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • TO MAKE GRILLED LIME CHICKEN: Prepare a hot grill or barbecue. Mix the marinade ingredients together and marinate the chicken breasts for 15 minutes. Cook the breasts for 5 to 7 minutes each side (discard leftover marinade). Remove the grilled chicken and cool. Cut the cold chicken into 1 cm cubes and set aside in the refrigerator.
  • TO MAKE CARALELISED ONIONS: Melt butter in small non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook onions, stirring, until they just begin to brown - 3 to 4 minutes. Add vinegar; reduce heat to medium-low & continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring to prevent scorching. Add soy sauce & cook 5 to 10 minutes longer, stirring. When done, onions should be quite limp & caramelised brown.
  • TO MAKE GUACAMOLE: Cut the avocado in half, discard pit and scoop the flesh away from the skin into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado and then quickly combine with the remaining guacamole ingredients. Place cling film directly onto the surface of the guacamole and squeeze out air bubbles. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • TO MAKE PIZZA: Distribute sauteed onions over the pizza base. Cover the onions with about 3/4 of the mozzarella. Evenly distribute the chicken pieces over the cheese and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the chicken. Transfer to the pre-heated Pizza Maker (or to a very hot oven) and cook until cheese at centre is bubbly and crust is brown (8 to 10 minutes). Sprinkle 1 tblsp of chopped coriander leaves over the hot cheese. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole (either added to the pizza before serving or else as side dishes for people to add as they like).

SANTA FE TORTILLA PIZZA



Santa Fe Tortilla Pizza image

Categories     Cheese     Dairy     Pork     Bake     Super Bowl     Quick & Easy     Poker/Game Night     Jalapeño     Party     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 8-ounce pork tenderloin
Olive oil
3 10-inch flour tortillas
1 9-ounce can bean dip with seasonings and cheese
3 tablespoons canned diced green chilies
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/4 cups packed (about 5 ounces) grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
Thick and chunky bottled salsa
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through and thermometer inserted in center registers 145°F., about 20 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut slices into strips. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Lightly oil baking sheet. Place 1 tortilla on prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Spread bean dip on tortilla. Arrange second tortilla over. Arrange pork over, spacing evenly. Sprinkle diced chilies over. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over. Sprinkle cheese and cumin over evenly. Press third tortilla firmly onto cheese. Brush tortilla lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake until cheese melts and top tortilla is beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Cut into 4 large or 8 small wedges. Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use a pre-made pizza crust to save time. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pizza crust from the store. Just be sure to choose a crust that is the right size for your baking dish.
  • Make sure your toppings are evenly distributed. When you're adding toppings to your pizza, be sure to spread them out evenly so that each slice has a fair share. This will also help to prevent the pizza from becoming soggy in the middle.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pizza difficult to cook and can also make it soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings that you love.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature. The best way to get a crispy crust is to bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will also help to prevent the toppings from becoming overcooked.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the knife and will also make it easier to slice the pizza into even pieces.

Conclusion:

Santa Fe pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its unique blend of flavors, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe to try, give Santa Fe pizza a try. You won't be disappointed.
