Pizza - Mexican Chorizo Pizza

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Post by Chowhound »

chorizo-mexican-pizza-4-1024x682.jpg
1 store-bought pizza shell (or make your own pizza dough)
1 12-14 ounce pizza sauce jar
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 pound ground turkey or beef browned in skillet with 3 tablespoons taco seasoning and salt and pepper to taste
7 ounces Chorizo sausage, browned in skillet
8 ounces Mexican shredded cheese
2.25 ounces sliced black olives 1 can
2 tablespoons diced fresh tomatoes
2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Make pizza dough according to your recipe or use store-bought shell. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut dough in half and roll out two pizza crusts on baking surfaces. (or use your store-bought shell) Next brush pizza sauce over both pizza crusts and sprinkle taco seasoning over the top of the sauce. Add taco seasoned and browned ground turkey and browned chorizo on tops of both pizza crusts. Sprinkle meat with Mexican shredded cheese then add black olives and diced fresh tomato over pizzas. Bake pizzas one at a time for 12-18 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings have all melted together. Tip: If you want to brown the top even more, turn on the broiler for a few minutes but carefully watch so the pizza does not burn. Remove pizzas, sprinkle with green onions, slice and serve.
