It’s here… Mexican Pizza Enchilada

I know what you’re thinking, what in the world is Mexican Pizza Enchilada?  I’ll explain my creation to you which is quite obvious, actually.mexican enchilada pizza 221
After all the wonderful feedback I received on my Mexican Tortilla Pizza, here, I decided to work on a slightly different Mexican Pizza recipe with the use of enchilada sauce.mexican enchilada pizza 197
As you would expect on a Veggie Lover’s pizza, I topped off my pizza with veggies and cheese.mexican enchilada pizza 247
I took the recipe one notch further by adding some Frank’s Red Hot Sauce – my most favorite bottled ingredient – YUM! mexican enchilada pizza 243
I finished off the pizza with fresh cilantro.  The end verdict is nothing but deliciousness.mexican enchilada pizza 200


NUTRITION: Whole Wheat Pizza Crust is a great source of Protein and Fiber.  Green Peppers are a great source of Vitamins A, B6, and C.  Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamin A and C.  Although high in fat, cheese is an excellent source of Protein and Calcium and should be eaten in moderation.


INGREDIENTS (enough to make 2 pizza pies):

  • Whole Foods Whole Wheat Pizza Crust – 2 crusts in a packet (store bought)
  • Green Pepper – 1 (chopped)
  • Onion – 1 (chopped)
  • Tomato – 1 (chopped)
  • Jalapeno – 1 (chopped)
  • Taco Seasoning – 3 tbsp (I like Ortega or Old El Paso)
  • Olive Oil – 2 tsp (enough to spread on the pizza crust)
  • Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce (mild) – 1-10 ounce can
  • Scallions – 1 bunch (chopped)
  • Mexican Blend Cheese (Reduced Fat) – 1 to 1 1/2 cups
  • Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (original) – 2 to 3 tbsp (go as crazy as you’d like)
  • Fresh Cilantro – 1 bunch (chopped)


DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Start with your veggies… here is what you’ll need.mexican enchilada pizza 107

2. Chop all the veggies.mexican enchilada pizza 109
3. Add the veggies to a mixing bowl.  Top with taco seasoning.  Combine and set aside.mexican enchilada pizza 111
4. Chop the scallions and set aside.

8. See, just like that.mexican enchilada pizza 121
9. Top with veggies.mexican enchilada pizza 122
10. Top with scallions.mexican enchilada pizza 124
11. Top with cheese.mexican enchilada pizza 125
12. Top with Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.  I added more while eating.mexican enchilada pizza 128
13. Into the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese is a slightly golden-brown.mexican enchilada pizza 130
14. In the meantime, chop the cilantro.mexican enchilada pizza 133
15. Check on the pizza, perfectly golden-brown.mexican enchilada pizza 134
16. Top with cilantro.mexican enchilada pizza 137
17. Wait about 15 minutes and the cut each pie into 6 slices.mexican enchilada pizza 138
18. Go ahead and make the other pie at this time or you can assemble and freeze for later.  I made mine right away and enjoyed more pizza the next day.  Smile      mithai 002

    CPK makes a great Santa Fe Chicken Pizza and it sort of reminds me of this. I think the addition of guacamole and sour cream is the only thing that makes it different. Great pizza idea!

    Your pizza looks so fresh and healthy. Great idea for a weeknight meal. I love enchilada sauce but I never would have thought to use it as a pizza sauce.

    So I just finished eating this for dinner. One of the best.pizzas.I've.ever.made. Seriously! I LOVED it! I used a homemade pizza crust instead of the store bought, and omitted the scallions because they didn't have any at the store, but made up for that with extra Frank's sauce 🙂 I am keeping this recipe forever, thank you!

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
