Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pizza dough, ball (1 pound)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups queso fresco, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chorizo sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 large red chili, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Method

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Roll the pizza dough on a floured surface and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Spread the pizza sauce over top. Cover with a sprinkling of garlic, then a 1/2 cup of queso fresco. Top with chorizo and green onion, then cover with the remaining cheese and chili slices. Cook until the crust is golden brown (10 to 12 minutes). Garnish with cilantro.
  • Note: I prefer my crust prebaked for a crispier crumb. May need to reduce final cook time.
