👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. Prepare Pizza Base: Place the pizza dough or crust on a baking tray. Poke holes in the surface with a fork to prevent bubbling, then spread a layer of tomato sauce evenly over it.

  3. Cook Chorizo: In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo and fry until browned and slightly crispy, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Drain excess oil.

  4. Assemble Pizza: Spread the cooked chorizo evenly over the pizza base, followed by mozzarella cheese and sliced fresh vegetables. For extra spice, sprinkle with jalapenos or chili powder.

  5. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the crust is golden brown.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves or cilantro, and let it cool slightly before serving.

👉🏻✨TIPS

  • Baking time may vary depending on your oven's performance and the thickness of the pizza crust, so adjust accordingly.
