Description

Your favorite Mexican dish….turned into a pizza! You will love this chicken enchilada pizza recipe. It’s bursting with flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 small white onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, diced
  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 large unbaked pizza crust, homemade or storebought
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce, homemade or storebought
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used rotisserie)
  • 2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
  • handful of fresh cilantro, stems removed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and poblano, and saute for 5 minutes or until onions are cooked and translucent. Add diced green chiles and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with a few spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce.
  4. Prepare the pizza by spreading about *1 cup* of enchilada sauce evenly on the crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Layer the onion/poblano/chile mixture evenly on top of the sauce, then add the sauced chicken, then sprinkle the top with cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or according to the crust’s package instructions, or until the cheese is melted and the crust begins to turn golden brown. Remove and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Slice and serve immediately.
