Pizza Mexicana
- 1 pound Fresh Mexican Chorizo, Casings Removed
- 12 ounces, fluid Can Tomato Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin (or Less, To Taste)
- 3 cups Pepper Jack Cheese, Shredded
- 3 whole Small Red, Orange, Or Yellow Bell Peppers, Sliced
- 1/2 whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 2 whole Pizza Crusts - Homemade Or Store Bought
- First off: Prepare your favorite pizza dough recipe (make sure you allow time for it to rise).
- I make two 12-inch pizzas at a time (leftovers, baby), so youll want to make sure you have enough dough for that.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees (or the temperature indicated by your pizza dough recipe) and move racks to the upper- and lower- thirds of the oven.
- In a large nonstick skillet, brown the chorizo over medium heat.
- Stir frequently, breaking up sausage with the back of the spoon, until it is no longer pink.
- Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix tomato sauce and cumin.
- Add salt to taste.
- Spread sauce onto the two pizza crusts (use as much or as little as you like sometimes I have some left over and I just freeze it for another time).
- Divide the cheese between the two pizzas and spread it on top of the sauce, then followed by the chorizo, peppers, and onions.
- Bake pizzas for approximately 20-25 minutes, switching racks halfway through, until cheese is thoroughly melted and onions and peppers begin to brown.
