I am so going to make this. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons onion powder |
2 tablespoons garlic powder |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon kosher salt |
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for brushing |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast |
1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough |
all-purpose flour, for dusting |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1 avocado |
1 lime, juice of |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1 tablespoon diced red onion |
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup fresh salsa |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. To make the taco seasoning: Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
2. To prepare the pizza: Mix 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning and the canola oil in a shallow bowl; set aside. (Note: Cut back on the pepper should you desire less heat.).
3. Pound the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. Add the chicken to the bowl, turning to coat and marinate 30 minutes.
4. Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.
5. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll out each on a floured surface into an 8-inch round. Brush with canola oil, sprinkle with taco seasoning and grill until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side; remove from the grill. (Note: Watch carefully, it may take less time than the recipe suggests. Let it sit for only a minute or so on lower heat and then flip it; wait another minute and remove.).
6. Mix the cheeses in a bowl, then sprinkle on the crusts and top with the chicken. Return the pizzas to the grill, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, mix the avocado, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, red onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizzas with the avocado mixture, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
