Mexican Style Pizza sauced with JAH Chipotle Sauce. Topped off with either Carnita Meat or Marinated Chipotle Chicken and your choice of vegetables and that three-cheese blend for a seriously good Taco Tuesday Pizza Night. Dress the whole pizza off with a finishing sauce like Sour Cream, Smooth Salsa, Cilantro Cream Sauce, or Red Taco Sauce. Place it in a squeeze bottle so that you can drizzle it on before serving.
Pizza Dough
For this one, we are using the Classic Hand Tossed Pizza Dough. Although you could use the Thin Crust or the Thick Crust just as well, or any other medium for the Pizza.
It’s best to get the Pizza Dough out of the way the day before, since it requires a long proofing time. You can also make these on Pita Breads for Pita Pizzas.
Chipotle Sauce
This is the Chipotle Sauce that makes the Pizza what it is. Either the Standard or the Creamy version can be used here. It’s a Flavorful & Quick Sauce with a nice heat that can be thrown together and made up in about 10 minutes.
Chipotle Pizza Toppings
Your choice of either previously cooked Carnita or Marinated Chipotle Chicken.
Add whatever vegetables you like. I find that Peppers, Onions, Tomatoes work really well. Beans & Corn can also go on if you choose. For more heat, add more chipotle powder into the sauce or sprinkle chipotle powder on top. Add hot peppers or drizzle hot sauce over top.
The Cheese is the same blend that is used at Taco Bell and other various Taco Outlets. It consists of Mozzarella Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, and Monterey Jack Cheese.
The Tex Mex can be used too, which consists of Colby, Monterey Jack with Jalapeno, and Mild Cheddar Cheese.
