Ingredients

For the Pizza:

  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cups pizza sauce
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup chicken breast (cooked, diced)
  • 1 cup lettuce (shredded)
  • 1 medium tomato (diced)
  • 5 tortilla chips (crushed)
  • 1 tsp cilantro (fresh)
  • 1 tbsp avocado hot sauce or sour cream (see notes for my jalapeno ranch dressing)

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • If you're using store-bought pizza dough, simply let it come to room temperature. If you’re making your own, prepare the dough and let it rise on the counter for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape, aiming for about ¼-inch thickness.
  • Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the sauce.
  • Distribute the cooked, diced chicken evenly across the pizza, followed by the shredded Mexican cheese.
  • Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and crushed tortilla chips. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top, and drizzle with avocado hot sauce or your choice of dressing.
