Description

Spice up homemade pizza night with chorizo, pepper jack cheese, and a hint of cumin.

Ingredients

  • 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
  • ½ whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 whole Pizza Crusts - Homemade Or Store Bought

Preparation

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 you’ll 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.
