spicy fajita pizza

can’t decide what to have for dinner? well, if you’re craving mexican food and pizza tonight, this simple recipe is the best of both worlds.

and it was a great way to repurpose leftover meat stuffing from the pork empanadas the other night (see previous yumyumyummers recipe). gotta love leftover redux.

- preheat oven to 400F

prep the dough:
- sprinkle some whole-wheat flour on a clean surface before rolling out the fresh pizza dough (i bought some fresh from the bakery.)
- using a rolling pin, flatten out the dough into a thin, round pie
- sprinkle some more flour on the dough pie, flip over before applying the rolling pin again
- place the prepped dough pie on a pizza stone (at room temperature) or a lightly-greased, round baking pan

prep the toppings:
- 1-1.5 cups spicy fajita mixture (see previous yumyumyummers recipe)
- 1 cup fresh organic baby spinach
- fresh mozzarella (grated)

prep the pie:
- spread 2 tbsp plain, low-fat greek yogurt evenly on pizza dough
- lightly drizzle hot sauce
- season w/ ground black peppercorns
- add a bed of spinach leaves, then add spicy fajita mixture
- sprinkle mozzarella (grated) evenly over toppings
- season w/ ground black peppercorns

bake the pie:
- bake flatbread at 400F for 20min, or until crust is golden brown
- remove from oven & allow to cool on rack before slicing

food styling:
- serve w/ organic mixed greens on the side
- pairs nicely w/ your fave cerveza
