Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Cook the Chorizo
Remove chorizo from casing if necessary. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chorizo until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Drain Chorizo
Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Prepare Garlic Oil
In a small bowl, combine olive oil with minced garlic.
Season Refried Beans
In a small bowl, mix refried beans with cumin and chili powder.
Prepare the Pizza Dough
On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough to form a 14-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet.
Transfer Dough to Baking Sheet
Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel (if using a pizza stone).
Brush with Garlic Oil
Brush the entire surface of the dough with the garlic-infused olive oil, including the edges.
Spread Seasoned Beans
Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
Add Chorizo
Distribute the cooked chorizo evenly over the refried beans.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the chorizo layer.
Add Jalapeños
Thinly slice one jalapeño and distribute over the cheese.
Bake the Pizza
Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Prepare Fresh Toppings
While pizza is baking, dice tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, dice avocado, and thinly slice the remaining jalapeño.
Prepare Cilantro
Wash cilantro and roughly chop.
Prepare Lime
Cut lime into wedges.
Remove Pizza from Oven
Once baked, remove pizza from oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
Add Fresh Toppings
Top the pizza with diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, diced avocado, and remaining jalapeño slices.
Add Cilantro
Generously sprinkle fresh cilantro over the entire pizza.
