- For the Taco Seasoning
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly
ground black pepper
- For the Pizzas
1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for brushing
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tube pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1 avocado
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon diced red onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Make the taco seasoning
- Mix all of the ingredients with 1 tablespoon each salt and black pepper in a bowl.
- Prepare the pizza
- Mix 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning and the canola oil in a shallow bowl. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. 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.
