Street Taco Pizza
All of your favorite street taco flavors atop a thin crust pizza!
Ingredients
- 1 Thin Crust Pizza Dough
- 1 Bulb/Head Roasted Garlic (about 10-12 cloves)
- 1 Tomato (peeled and deseeded)
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 1/2 lb Carne Asada
- 8 oz Jack Cheese
- 4 oz Cotija Cheese
- 1/2 White Onion
- 1 Lime
- Sea Salt
- Sliced Jalapeños (Optional)
- Cornmeal for dusting
Instructions
- Mix roasted garlic, tomato, and half of the cilantro in food processor until blended, set aside.
- Partially cook the carne asada. Let rest for 5 minutes then dice meat.
- Prepare all toppings. Shred jack cheese, crumble cotija, thinly slice white onions, chop remaining cilantro, and slice jalapeño if using.
- Preheat grill on high with lid closed.
- Roll out pizza dough and place on a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
- Spread tomato mixture on dough, leaving about 1 inch around the outside for crust.
- Layer the cheese and remaining toppings evenly over the sauce.
- Wet crust with lime juice and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Slide pizza directly onto grill grate and close lid. Turn heat to medium/low.
- After about 5 minutes, once crust is partially cooked, rotate pizza for even cooking.
- Cook until cheese is bubbly and crust is done to desired crispness.
- Use pizza peel to remove pizza from grill and place on cutting board. Zest a lime over the top of the pizza, dust with remaining cilantro, cut into 8 equal slices, and enjoy!
Notes
I like to use my recipe for Thin Crust Pizza Dough but this could also be made on a thick crust.
