Mexican Pizza

 

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

 

Sauce 

​

Grab your favorite pizza sauce and add Linditas’ Salsa Mix! (1 pack). Set aside

 

Masa

​

To make the Mexican pizza dough,  I use my tortilla recipe.

 

(4) Cups unbleached all purpose flour

 

(3) tsp. salt

 

(3) tsp. baking powder

 

(4) tbsp. lard

 

(2)  Cups of warm tap water (I prefer almost hot) "not to burn"

 

In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder.

Add in the lard and mix to crumble finely into the flour with your hands.

Add water until masa forms into a ball. If masa is a little dry, add a little water or too sticky, add a little flour.

 

Knead masa about 5 minutes.

Cover, let stand 5-8 minutes.

Divide into 2 balls, shape into a medium size ball. Place on counter with a little flour using a rolling pin,  roll out to desired shape and size, 12 - 16 inches round.

 

Place on pizza sheet….

1st pizza on pizza sheet

 

Spoon pizza sauce to the masa dough, sprinkle cheese, chorizo, onion, bell peppers, tomatoes. Sprinkle oregano over pizza and top with additional cheese for that cheese lover.

 

Place in oven 350ºF. Bake at for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

​

For a Skillet Vegetarian Pizza 

 

Roll out  a small to medium size masa ball to a 10 inch round.

Heat the comal or a nonstick pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes.

Place tortilla on the hot pan or comal and let cook for about a minute  or until  the surface is covered with bubbles and has golden brown spots. Flip and cook on the other side for a minute or more. Remove and place on a skillet or pizza sheet.

 

Spoon pizza sauce to the cooked tortilla, sprinkle cheese, onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, jalapeños, black or green olives and your favorite toppings.

 

Bake for 7-8 minutes or until cheese is screaming ready.

 

Serve it up with a fresh salad and your favorite red wine!

 

For your left over masa cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Or roll out for next day tortillas. 

 

Once you have My Mexican Pizza it will be hard to go back

Enjoy Mis Amigos!
