Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 ounces raw pork chorizo
One 16-ounce canned refried black beans
2 cups instant corn masa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup Oaxaca cheese
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crumbled queso fresco
Mexican crema

Steps:

  • For the chorizo and bean topping: In a large heavy saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve. In a large heavy saute pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil on medium-high heat. Add the beans and cook until warm, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • For the tortillas: Combine the corn masa, 1 1/4 cups water and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly by hand to form a soft dough, about 2 minutes. If the dough feels dry, add more water (one tablespoon at a time). Preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Put half of the dough onto the parchment paper and place another piece of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is 1/4-inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. Drizzle the oil into the hot skillet and place the rolled out masa dough into the skillet to cook for about 2 minutes. Turn over to cook on the other side.
  • To assemble the pizza: Spread 1/2 cup of the warm refried beans onto the cooked side of dough. Add 1/4 cup Oaxaca cheese and 1/2 cup cooked chorizo. Continue to cook for until the cheese is melted, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pizza from the pan onto a round serving platter. Top with the iceberg lettuce. Season with salt and pepper.

2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, cornmeal, yeast, salt and sugar. In a saucepan, heat water, milk and oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Beat in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 14-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread salsa over crust. Top with the beans, chicken, onion, chilies, cheese, tomato, jalapeno and cilantro. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

MEXICAN PIZZA



Mexican Pizza image

I found this recipe online at www.mexicanfoodrecipes.org and posting for ZWT. The recipe says to use seasoned ground beef but doesn't give directions/ingredients for the seasoning. I suggest using Recipe #369923 or using a package of taco seasoning. Please feel free to serve this pizza with salsa, guacamole, lettuce or any topping of your choice. This is a recipe for two servings so feel free to double, triple etc. the amounts. This is also a great recipe to use up left-over taco meat.
