Ingredients:

  • 1 pizza crust (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder,
  • 8 oz Buffalo Chorizo Sausage
  • 1 cup of fresh corn (about 2-3 corn cobs)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 japeleno (sliced into rings)
  • 4 oz queso fresco

Directions For Buffalo Chorizo Pizza:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 500 degrees.
  2. Cook chorizo on the stove top in a non-stick skillet at medium heat, for about 8-10 minutes until just done, and crumble once cooled.
  3. Roll out your pizza dough very thin, and fold over the edges to make a good crust.
  4. Mix togther olive oil and chili powder, and spoon onto the crust, spreading out evenly until all is coated.
  5. Time to layer with the goods! In order: cabbage, chorizo, corn, jalepeno.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until crust is crisp. While pizza is baking, melt the queso fresco on the stovetop in a small saucepan on low.
  7. Remove pizza from oven (if using a pizza stone, slide a large sheet pan underneath, and carefully pull pizza out onto it using kitchen tongs). Drizzle the melted queso fresco over top, and sprinkle with the cilantro. Time to party!

Note – you can definitely use a pre-made crust from a grocery store, but if you have a little extra time, homemade is so worth it! There is a fool-proof pizza dough recipe on my blog. Just type in “Pizza Dough” in the search bar! Also, a pizza stone will produce the crispiest crust, so if you have one, put it in the oven before preheating. If not, you can use a sheet pan to bake it on.
