1
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

Add Jalapeños

While pizza is baking, dice tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, dice avocado, and thinly slice the remaining jalapeño.
