  • Prep: 30 min. Grill: 5 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
30 5 35

Ingredients

  • SALSA:
  • 3 cups chopped seeded tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • PIZZAS:
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 pound chorizo, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the salsa ingredients; set aside.
  • Divide dough into fourths. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-in. circle. Lightly brush both sides of dough with oil; place on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.
  • Remove from the grill. Top the grilled side of each pizza with 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup chorizo and 1/2 cup salsa. Return to the grill. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is browned and cheese is melted. Refrigerate remaining salsa. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Tip

Seeding Tomatoes

Summer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.
