1 prepared pizza crust (or you can make your own)
6 ounces chorizo sausage (Mexican, removed from the casing and sauteed)
1 medium onion, cut in half and thin sliced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thin sliced (I think I used a bit more, but use as many as you like)
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

Topping -- In a large saute pan add the chorizo and cook until crumbled and golden brown. Remove to a plate with a paper towel and let it drain.
Now to the same pan, remove most of the drippings but reserve a little (1 teaspoon or so) to cook the onions and mushrooms inches If necessary you can a little more olive oil. Saute the onions and mushrooms until they are golden brown and soft. Add the chorizo back in the pan and mix well to combine all the flavors. Remove from the heat while you start your crust.
Pizza Crust -- Follow directions for the pizza crust. Whether it is a store bought crust, dough or from a pizza place. But when I crisp mine up, I like to brush on a mix of olive, garlic, oregano and pepper. Then bake to firm up the crust.
Top and Bake -- Top your pizza with the sausage, onion and mushroom mixture and then top with the grated cheeses. On a grill, medium heat; In a oven, 425 degrees until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. About 10-15 minutes. ENJOY this very unique pizza.
