Chicken Taco Pizza

MY OBSESSION:  If there's one thing I could eat multiple times a week and never get sick of, it's pizza! And it only helps that I am in love with someone who loves pizza more than I do, AND my son asks for pizza for breakfast on a daily basis!

  

While living in Spain or traveling through France, when I encountered a sad or rough time, I turned to pizza... maybe because it comforted me in a way...

It brought me back to all those Friday nights as a kid; pizza night...and book mobile night with my dad<3...bowling night at Nesbits Lanes.

Pizza is also one of many foods that just brings people together; we have it at class parties at school, we order it for football games, and it's the food we often rely on when we socialize and gather with friends and family.  Whatever the occasion, pizza is usually there!  One of my more recent favorite memories of pizza was ordering from Pizza Hut for our first meal in our new house!  We didn't even have any furniture yet, but we sat on the floor and devoured our pizza together... it was beautiful!

 

Pizza is great- it never gets old because there are so many different combinations of toppings and you can literally put almost anything on a pizza crust and it will be the most amazing thing you have ever bitten into; the melted globs of cheese, the crunchy fresh veggies, the spicy pepperoni, the tangy tomato sauce, the taste of fresh herbs...

I could go on and on and on...

 

  Recently, I've been turning to making pizzas on the weekends for Saturday afternoon lunches, and I've discovered it's actually quite practical to make your own instead of ordering one; it's simple, cheap, quick, and delicious! 

I've become a fan of Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Crust for whatever pizza I am making.  This recipe is definitely a pizza with a twist, a Mexican twist, as it uses the Creamy Salsa Chicken that I posted the recipe for in my previous post: Like I said, you should have leftovers of the chicken and this is what I used them for...

Chicken Taco Pizza

Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Crust

Red onion

Jalapeno

Cilantro

Tomato

Taco or Fiesta blend shredded cheese

Chilli Powder

 

While the dough is precooking for about 5 mins., dice your veggies:  red onion, jalapeno, and tomato.

Chop the cilantro and take a sip of your wine : )

 

 



Spread Creamy Salsa Chicken over pre-cooked pizza dough and then top with the diced onion and jalapenos.

Cook pizza until crust just starts to brown on the edges.  Add shredded cheese and sprinkle with chili powder.  Evenly place tomatoes and cilantro on top of pizza.  Cook for just a few more minutes; until cheese is melted.

 

Cool, slice, and enjoy... the flavor is outstanding!

 

 

The BEST kind of pie is a PIZZA pie, and the best kind of conversation happens around a pizza!
