Ingredients

Homemade Pizza Dough

2 3/4 -3 cups flour
1 package yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil

Pizza

2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup refried beans
1/2 cup salsa
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
3 cups shredded lettuce I use iceberg lettuce
3 medium Roma tomatoes chopped
1 cup tortilla chips crushed
sour cream optional

Instructions

Homemade Pizza Dough

In a large mixing bowl combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, and salt. Add the water and the olive oil and mix it in.
Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Let the dough rest while you prepare the chicken.

Pizza

Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Combine the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, red pepper, and salt. Add to the chicken and mix well.
In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink about 10 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, mix the refried beans and salsa together and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the dough into a greased 10 1/2 by 15 1/2-inch pan.
Spread the refried beans and salsa mixture over top of the crust.
Top with the cooked chicken. Sprinkle 2 cups of the cheddar cheese over top of the chicken.
Place the pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned.
Once the pizza is baked remove from the oven and top with the shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, crushed tortilla chips, and the remaining one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add additional toppings if desired.

Notes

Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Make your own taco seasoning, it is super simple to make, or if you prefer you can buy a packet of taco seasoning.
Make your own crust or use store-bought pizza dough. You will need 1 pound of dough.
Cheddar cheese is great on this pizza, but you use Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or your favorite Mexican cheese.
For leftover pizza store in the refrigerator.
