Pizza Toppings

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Birria Topping

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the birria meat and taco seasoning, cooking until heated through. This should take about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pizza

    Spread the cooked birria meat evenly over the pizza dough. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped onion, and sliced jalapeños.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
