    It's here... Mexican Pizza Enchilada

    3 shares

    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 tablespoon (I like Ortega or Old El Paso)
    • Olive Oil – 2 teaspoon (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 ½ cups
    • Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (original) – 2 to 3 tablespoon (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

    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!

      @Ameena - I never tried CPK's Santa Fe Chicken Pizza, will have to try it, but here in the Northeast we barely have any CPK's. Lucky you, you live in LA. haha! 🙂

      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!

        425 degrees.. should be on the back of the crust brand you decide to use.
