Chicken Fajita Pizza

By Hester

For this pizza, I just took the flavors of a fajita, and made them into pizza form. I used salsa as the pizza sauce, then added grilled chicken, bell peppers and onions with shredded Mexican cheeses. After baking, I garnished my pizza with some freshly chopped cilantro.

Ingredients

• For the chipotle lime butter:
• 1 (11 oz) package Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough
• 1/2 cup mild salsa
• 2 cups sliced grilled chicken
• 1 1/2 cups red,green and yellow sliced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup sliced red onion
• 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro, for garnish
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°. Stretch dough to the size of a jelly roll pan. Spread salsa over dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over salsa. Top with grilled chicken, bell peppers and onion. Add the rest of the cheese over pizza. Bake at 400° for 10 - 15 minutes, or until cheese has melted and pizza is starting to brown around the edges.

Garnish the pizza with fresh cilantro and crust with chipotle lime butter.
