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.

Tips:

  • For a crispy yet chewy pizza crust, use a combination of bread flour and all-purpose flour. Bread flour is high in protein and gluten, which will give the crust a strong structure. All-purpose flour will add lightness and tenderness.
  • Don't overwork the pizza dough. Overworking will develop the gluten too much, making the crust tough.
  • Let the pizza dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and create a light and airy crust.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet to bake the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the toppings from overcooking.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running off the pizza.

Conclusion:

Mexican salsa pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, flavorful salsa, and melted cheese, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Mexican salsa pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
