Description

Delivery has nothing on homemade pizza and this Mexican pizza fusion will have you savoring every last bite. Chicken enchilada pizza was simply meant to be when you realize Mexican food has so many ingredients in common with pizza. It’s like eating your favorite enchiladas in pizza form. Fluffy crispy crust, spicy flavorful red enchilada sauce, melty cheese, crisp onions, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of sour cream! You will have a hard time stopping at just one slice!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Pizza Dough (homemade or pre-made dough)
  • 6 oz Chicken Breast cooked and diced or shredded
  • 1 cup Enchilada Sauce divided
  • 1/2 White Onion sliced
  • 2 Jalapeno Peppers chopped
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven according to pizza dough instructions.
  2. Cook chicken and dice or shred with a fork once cooked.
  3. In a small bowl, mix chicken with 6 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce and set aside.
  4. Chop onions, jalapeno, and cilantro and set aside.
  5. On a lightly floured surface or using semolina (it won’t leave your crust bitter like flour), stretch out pizza dough into a circular shape.
  6. Using a few spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce, spread on the top of the dough. The easiest way to do this is to use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly across the whole thing leaving about an inch of dough exposed along the edges. I usually use 3-4 tablespoons per pizza.
  7. Add a small sprinkle of cheese before topping. This helps keep the toppings stuck to the pizza.
  8. Add the chicken pieces to the top of the enchilada sauce and cheese.
  9. Add onion, jalapeno, and cilantro to the top of the pizza.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. 
  11. Bake pizza in the preheated oven according to pizza dough instructions or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  12. Drizzle each pizza with a small amount of sour cream.
